Confident Commitment

orchidee



Tune: Franconia

('Blest are the pure in heart')

Psalm 65 v.1-5

*********

O God, in Sion praise

Waits for you, anthems raise

To you shall the vows performed be

Each deed diligently

 

O you, LORD, that hear prayer

Our needs with you we share

Unto you shall come peoples all

Turn to you, on you call

 

Sins prevail against me

Look not on them, not see

But forgive, and them purge away

Bring us salvation's day

 

Blessed they who you choose to

Approach to you anew

That they may dwell where you reside

They may in you confide

 

We shall satisfied be

With your goodness plenty

In righteousness you shall answer

Us, and firmly assure

 

You are the confidence

Of all the earth now, hence

Of all they on  earth, on the sea

Saviour of all you be

      Nicely done Orchi

    • SureshG

      Isn’t it so that we must first refrain from sinning

        Thanks Suresh. Yes, yet I suppose even continuing sinners could make commitments, even if false or half-hearted. I mean, those the old prophets would refer to as 'wicked sinners'.
