Majestic Musings

orchidee



Tune: Southwell

('Lord Jesus, think on me')

Psalm 93

***********

The Lord reigns, He is clothed

With majesty bestowed

He is clothed with strength, wherewith He

Has girded self, so be

 

The world also is set

Established, not moved yet

Your throne, Lord. is established too

From old, e'erlasting you

 

Th floods have raised their voice

Though we do here rejoice

That you the Lord are mightier

Than them, e'en though they stir

 

Your testimonies sure

Lord are, and evermore

Holiness does your house adorn

Evening, night, day, and morn

    I love the song.
    My entry this evening I wrote back in 1996 but I think your poem and my entry are sorta’ kinda related. See what you think????

      Thanks JH. Yes, related in some way. I never wrote anything in 1996. Well, only very occasionally. The hymn came up in a mystery programme written by Roald Dahl, and an eccentric Vicar. A programme I try to forget. I can't stand Dahl - creepy.
