Tune: Unter Herrschen
('Come ye faithful, raise the anthem')
Psalm 24 parts
********
The earth is the Lord's, its fulness
And all therein, He does bless
He founded it upon the seas
Formed each thing as He did please
Who shall ascend to the Lord's hill
To worship Him with good will?
Ascend His hill to His temple
Contained within temple wall
Who shall stand in His holy place?
Nations, folk of every race
They that have clean hands and pure heart
Who from His ways not depart
And they who have not been vain to
Worship idols, them not view
And they who have not deceit done
But they be honest, each one
They shall receive the Lord's blessing
Righteousness, and each good thing
The God of their salvation shall
Give them good things, they fare well
This the generation of they
That do seek His face alway
Open gates of temple, welcome
King of glory to His home

Hello Orchi, and happy new year!
Thank you for my daily bread, aka my daily hymn poem
Thanks Rocky. Happy new year to you too!
Omg wth, sorry, the response was cut short, it continued as follows:
"I especially like the way you mentioned the Ascension, being that my pastor dedicated an entire sermon to just that yesterday. Your words are precise and impactful, thanks so much Orchi, have a blessed day!"
