Tune: Camberwell
(one tune to 'At the name of Jesus')
*********
Psalm 145 v.3-4
Great is the Lord, and He
To be praised greatly
His greatness cannot be
Full searched out, see
One generation shall
Another one tell
Of His works, shall them praise
To Him glory raise
Psalm 145 v.18-19
The Lord, He is nigh all
That do on Him call
In truth, He will them hear
Will to them draw near
He will desire fulfil
They who seek His will
Who do fear, are in awe
Of Him, He saves sure
Psalm 146 v.5-6
Happy they whose God is
The Lord, they find this
That He is their help, He
Great Creator be
Of heaven, earth, sea, sky
His truth dies ne'er die
He keeps it ever
Unfaithful never
Psalm 147 v.1-2
Praise the Lord, for it be
Good to praise Him free
For it is pleasant, sweet
Worship at His feet
And to praise is comely
Fitting, beautifully
He helps poor and needy
Thus favoured are we
Psalm 147 v.5-6
Great our Lord, great power
He has every hour
His understanding, see
It infinite be
Humans cannot all things
Know, but praise Him brings
He lifts up the humble
Proud know their downfall

I liked it back then & it brought back a few nice memories ...

Thanks N.
Yes, lol. To this tune, at school we had to count the seven notes introduction to each verse!
Know what I mean? I've not gone senile wittering on.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
