Tune: Margaret

('Thou didst leave thy throne')

Psalm 92 v.1-5 and v.12-15

**********

It isa good thing to give thanks unto

The Lord, we bring praises to you

To your name, O most High

Sensing that you are nigh

And it is to you we ally

Showing forth your loving kindness

And faithfulness, day, night, you bless

 

Singing with instruments, making joyful sound

So praises to you do redound

For you have made me glad

Through your works, I not sad

All of them they be good, none bad

O Lord, how great sure your works be!

And your thoughts very deep, I see

 

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree

Grows like cedars productively

They that are so planted

In the Lord's house, good stead

They shall know, shall flourish, be fed

Shall still bring forth fruit in old age

Or whatever their life's stage

 

This shall show that the Lord He is upright

Does what is pleasing in His sight

He is my rock firm here

I shall stand and not fear

And it is to Him I draw near

In Him no unrighteousness be

I come and worship Him freely

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 10.8.6.6.8.8.8. format. My first attempt with this format. Bit tricky. Two long lines, then two short, then three long. Oops, a Ch.... hymn Sorry Gold! lol.

    Yes, my first attempt of using this hymn's format for my 'hymn book', after all this time.

    The kenosis and incarnation are the most wondrous of all divine acts because involved the greatest form of compassion and grace. Thanks orchi!

      Thanks CB. Not too au fait on 'kenosis'(looks it up to check), but Goldie will scold me for the Ch....word! Well, it's not far off now.

      A true hymn of praise. I am glad to see you pointed out the the formal format. I have trouble with formalities and often don't notice them. Maybe that makes me autistic. Nevertheless, I do appreciate them and the work they require. Very nice
