Tune: Winchester Old
('When God of old came down from heaven')
Romans 15 v.9-13
*********
Jews and Gentiles both in God's plan
Salvation every man
Woman and child, all here below
That they might gospel know
For prophecies said, [For] His mercy
The Gentiles too shall, see
Glorify God, as shall the Jews
He brings us life, good news
They too unto His name shall sing
Shall rejoice in each thing
With praise and laud, e'en all people
He does call one and all
Isaiah, prophet said, There shall
Be a root*, we shall tell (*descendant)
Of family of Jesse, He
Christ, Son of God, so be
In Him shall the Gentiles trust still
Now the God of hope fill
You with all joy and with all peace
In believing, ne'er cease
That you may abound in hope through
His power, know it true
Power of the Holy Spirit
By Him your path be lit

You have 11 chances/verses in the clip to guess the tune!
Your knowledge goes over my head but I love to hear it.....
mercy's okay in moderation .. but you can't beat a bit of rough justice ... 🙂
Thanks N. Should I meet Carol? (Do shut up Orchi. lol).
I sort of get into hymns at Christmas, and I think it must be all the carol singers in the High st.
Thanks Paul. You know Carol?! lol. Never know her surname - strange that!
I think Carol's surname is Baskin?! 😛
