Guidance Of Governors

orchidee



Tune: Old Hundredth

('All people that on earth do dwell')

Psalm 72 parts

********

O God, give Kings, Queens your judgements

Wisdom, righteousness, may they sense

You as the LORD God in each thing

And unto you their worship bring

 

May they judge your people rightly

And poor, needy with equity

Those that govern guide by you by light

To do that pleasing in your sight

 

Their name shall continue ever

And last while the sun does confer

Light of day upon mankind, too

Endure while many moons show true

 

And people shall in them be blessed

And nations shall sure find their rest

The Lord God shall not disappoint

But will all for the good appoint

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre. The Psalm was originally written FOR or BY King Solomon. True words I trust, though how much is to believed that the UK is being run by Bozo, Coco, Thicko, Dumbo, etc, as some papers say?! We may laugh at the clowns aspect, but scary too, if true.

    a finely tuned hymnal poem accompanied by much truth embedded within the authors note .. 🙂

      Thanks Neville. Or is it as some say: 'We've no chance with Bozo & Co. running the country?!' Quite an old hymn, but not as old as 1066.

        I wish your god could give the pope some lessons in apologising for the evil deeds he is refusing to apologise for concerning deaths of indiginous peoples children in Canada.

          Thanks dusk. Now I'm reading a bit about Roman Catholics who aimed to overthrow Protestants in the 16th Century.
