From Unborn To Born

orchidee



Tune: Darwalls 148th

('Join all the glorious names'

OR 'Ye holy angels bright')

Psalm 139 v.9-16

********

If I take morning's wing

To flee from everything

And dwell out in the sea

The farthest I can be

Even there then, your Spirit, hand

Shall hold me, lead me to good land

 

If I say, dark surely

Shall cover, fall on me

Even the night shall be

As light round about me

For the darkness hides not from you

Lord, night shines as day to you true

 

The darkness and the light

Are alike in your sight

You made my inward parts

Weaved me right from the start

I will praise you, for I be made

By your awesome wondrous display

 

Marvellous your works be

My soul knows, does agree

My frame was from you not

Hid, you assigned my lot

When I was made in secret, bones

And all of me with skilful hones

 

You did see my substance

When still unformed, and thence

In your book my members

Were written, all concurs

You fashioned each one of them when

There were none, and gave me life then

    Beautiful addition to your hymn book, you had help with this one I see a ghost writer or is that canine writer. Lovely read for with my morning coffee as i watch the sky turning from black to a beautiful silvery blue. ☕

      Thanks WH. It's my (imaginary) dog, but if people forget to mark poems 18+, and they should have done, he barks very fiercely at them! lol.
