Tune: All through the night
('God who madest earth and heaven')
Psalm 27 v.8-14
***********
When you said, LORD, Seek you my face
I by your grace
My heart said unto you, Your face
I will it trace
I will seek it, hide not from me
So that by faith I your face see
Turn me not away in anger
You are sure there
You have been my help, leave me not
Blessed is my lot
Nor forsake me, O God of my
Salvation nigh
E'en if mother, father forsake
Me you will not leave, but uptake
Teach me your way, LORD, led me in
Plain path therein
Guard me from enemies, save me
They trouble be
With their lies and violence, see
And cruelty
I had fainted unless I so
Had believed your goodness below
On earth, in land of the living
You help me bring
Wait in faith on the LORD and be
Comforted free
Be of courage good, and He shall
Strengthen you well
In your heart, and close His presence
You shall know near and it true sense
Wait, I say, on the LORD always
Through nights and days

I strongly suspect Fido sees his god in your face.
Thanks dusk. You waiting for the No.7 bus? Has it arrived yet?!
That reads well for me this evening, Orchi. Really had a tiresome day.
Thanks Jerry.
Thank you for bringing back such memories in the video, Joyce and I had been to all those places except the first one.

Thanks Gold. I chose video at random - inspired? I could have chosen one of several others.
