Tune: Melcombe
('New every morning is the love')
Psalm 37 v.22-27
********
For such as be blessed of the Lord
Shall inherit the earth, true word
And they that of Him curséd be
Shall be cut off, no goodness see
The steps of a good person be
Ordered by the Lord here freely
And good people they do delight
In His way and live in His light
Though they fall they shall not be cast
Down utterly, those times be past
When the Lord shall uphold them by
His hand, His Spirit, He them nigh
I have been young, and no am old
Yet have not seen, let it be told
The righteous forsaken, and nor
Their descendants as begging poor
The righteous are e'er merciful
And lend, and they do ddeds good full
Their descendants are blessed ,adn they
Too follow in in the Lord's way
Depart from evil, and good do
And dwell for evermore anew
In the earth, the land inherit
Serve the Lord whole-hearted each whit

Absolutely my friend, anytime
were you a little tipsy on the old alter wine when you penned this one Mr. O
Yes lol. Though one time, less traditional, they use grape juice. Was I trying to poison them by preparing the 'wine' and using out of date grape juice?! They chucked it away, nipped to shop for a new carton, just in time to get back for Communion. It wouldn't have happened in more formal places. Doh!
