Tune: Gopsal
('Rejoice, the Lord is King')
Psalm 103 v.17-22
********
The mercy of the Lord
Is for e'er, true His word
Even from e'erlasting
To they that fear Him, sing
They unto Him, His righteousness
To generations, He does bless
To such as Him obey
Keep His covenant way
And remember to do
His commands, strength anew
He gives to us to enable
Us to be pleasing to Him all
The Lord He has His throne
He rules, and He alone
His kingdom rules o'er all
Shall not collapse or fall
Bless the Lord, you His angles who
Excel in strength, serve Him anew
For you His commands do
And you hear His words true
Bless the Lord, all His hosts
And peoples to far coasts
Bless the Lord, all works, all places
Dominion His o'er all races

I had been telling ya the wrong tune name for this hymn I think.
That's why I was singing it out of tune - no change there then to me! lol.
A fine lovely faithful hymn and im glad to hear that you care about divine commands and obedience to Him as some Christians like to ignore that part. Kudos!!
Plz also read and comment my newest poem too.
Thanks Zaynab.
With much regret, the Queen is dead ..
Thanks N. I get 'strange feelings' sometimes, not psychic, but foreboding. I sort of 'sensed' this would happen after the first news of her health concerns. A double rainbow at the actual time of her passing was a sign, portent, etc I think, but I don't know what it's a sign of exactly. I'm not into spookiness of psychic things. I wrote this a while ago, not on the actual day (yesterday).
