Tune: Nun Danket
('Now thank we all our God')
Psalm 113
********
Praise the Lord, O you praise
Him, His servants, and songs raise
Praise His name, lift it high
And sense too His presence nigh
Blesséd be the Lord's name
It ever be the same
From this time forth and sure
Shall be for evermore
From rising of the sun
To its going down, be done
Praise to the Lord, He reigns
Over all nations and deigns
What things shall daily be
His glory above, see
Who is like to the Lord
Who dwells on high? true word
He humbles himself to
All things in heaven to view
And things in the earth, He
Tends to poor, lonely, we see
Raises them from the dust
Who bare afford a crust
Lifts needy from ash heap
Provides, and does them keep
He sets the low among
The princes of earth, so sung
Praises to Him, He makes
Barren fruitful, not forsakes
So they have family
Enjoy prosperity
'Tis all from His grace store
Avails from shore to shore

Thank you Orchi for another lovely verse, and for a hymn I have always enjoyed.
Thanks Bella.
I am once more reminded of days of yore back in the day when I was a choirboy at Saint Lawrence's 🙂
Thanks Neville. How's that egg? Beaten yet?
Much more from His grace than we ever imagine - - fine thoughts here Orhi.
