Gracious Gloryings

Tune: Gwalchmai

('King of glory, King of peace')

Psalm 48 parts

*********

As we have heard, so have we

Seen it, so be

The greatness of your city

Mount Zion, see

Jerusalem on this mount

Is built, a fount

Of blessing, there the LORD great

[Of] Royal estate

 

God will establish it e'er

It shall fail ne'er

We have thought of your mercy

Loving, kind, free

In the midst of your temple

And there we call

Unto you, as is your praise

Your name [is] the same

 

Your praise is unto earth's ends

Each to you tends

Out of every nation

You Holy One

Your hands full of righteousness

With them you bless

So let Mount Zion rejoice

Make her your choice

 

Walk about Zion, and tell

Her buildings well

Her defences, palaces

Beautiful this

Tell to next generation

Each daughter, son

That He is our God life-long

He be our song

    ... I have been there, done that and once upon a time had the T shirt .. a fascinating place but I have never felt more uneasy, anywhere in the world ... I think it may have something to do with the kids all armed with machine guns ...

    I did enjoy ya poem tho Mr. O ..
