Tune/Song: 'The bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond'
Psalm 104 v.1-10 and v.24 (Chorus)
*********
Bless the LORD, O my soul, He comes to make whole
He be very great, glad be my soul
He is clothed with honour and majesty, and light
He covers Himself with, beauteous sight
Chorus
O LORD, your works, how manifold they sure are
All in earth, sea, sky, to farthest star
In wisdom you have mad them all for your glory
Earth is full of your riches, so it be* (*Amen)
He stretches out the heavens like a curtain
Displaying His marvels unto men
He lays the foundation of the waters, sea sings
Clouds His chariot, He walks on winds wings - Chorus
He makes His angels spirits, and His servants
He makes a flaming fire, e'en from hence
He laid the foundations of the earth, firm and strong
That they be not removed but remain long - Chorus
He covered he sea, the great deep, as with garment
Mount Zion His residence, His tent
When floods came to pass they stood above the mountains
He rebuked them, they returned to streams, glens - Chorus
The rivers go up by the mountains, and down
By the valleys, passing through each town
They go by the ways that He has appointed, set
His creative power has ne'er failed yet - Chorus
