Platinum Prosperity

orchidee



Tune: Diademata

('Crown Him with many crowns')

Psalm 72 parts - Originally written for King Solomon.

**********

Give the Queen your judgements

O God, wisdom and sense

You have upheld year seventy

All by your good grace be

And give your righteousness

To royalty, them bless

So shall they judge your people free

With righteousness, so be

 

And the poor of the land

They shall assist, good hand

Of justice, judgement shall be shown

And your ways shall be known

Help unto the needy

Freedom from tyranny

As they do your justice dispense

O God, from now and hence

 

Grant they be like the rain

Which showers earth again

Bringing refreshment in their days

Righteous flourish in ways

Of the Lord, and too peace

Abundant, ne'er shall cease

Shall endure long as moon and sun

Their nature courses run

 

Their name shall endure e'er

In blessings we do share

All people, nations, give Him praise

For many gracious days

Silver, gold, and diamond

A rich heritage fund

Platinum, three score years and ten
