Tune: Franconia
('Blest are the pure in heart')
Psalm 62 v.5-8
*********
Settle now, heart and mind
Soul through your turmoils find
The peace of the LORD, on Him wait
He shall help you not late
My hope, expectation
Is from Him, He the One
He only my God and rock be
Here be security
He too my salvation
And unto each nation
He my defence, I shall not be
Moved, nor be shaken, see
My salvation it be
In God, and my glory
He be, and the rock of my strength
Throughout my whole life's length
My refuge too it be
In the LORD God freely
Trust in Him at all times, people
Unto Him pray and call
Pour out your heart before
Him, of His treasure-store
He shall give you, He a refuge
For us, here take courage

Sexism at play here.
Call Him 'Her' then. And call He 'She'. 🙂
And who is the top dog, the 'lord' or the 'king' ?? (both male).
Well done, Orchi.
Thanks Jerry.
I try to slip in at least two of these each and every day ... meditative moments that is ....
Thanks Neville. You done the moments but forgot the meditating?! lol.
Good one Orchi. May you god go with you.
Andy
Thanks Gold.
Up to the standard i expect Orchi. Rock on!
Thanks SC.
I read a phrase recently, not on poetry site: 'Good song; a bit different to what my orthodox, traditional ears are used to hearing'. I'm open to some 'rocking on'. Even a hymn book is entitled 'Hymns Ancient AND Modern'.
