Tune: Regent Square
('Light's abode, celestial Salem')
Psalm 72 v.1-8
*******
O God, give the King your judgements
Your wisdom, not human sense
And your righteousness unto your
Son, He the Messiah pure
Promised of old, now Him you sent
Bringer of new Covenant
He shall judge your people rightly
And act for the poor justly
Peace shall surround them as hills, mounts
They partake of blessing's founts
he shall bring justice to the poor
And shall save the needy sure
They shall fear you, shall be in awe
As long as sun, moon endure
Throughout all the generations
Reaching unto all nations
He your Son shall come as showers
On us, bring refreshing hours
In His days righteous shall flourish
He will feed and them nourish
He shall have dominion o'er
All the earth for evermore
From coast to coast, from sea to sea
His rule and reign e'er shall be

For lack of commonness human sense is quite anathema in hindsight. So we seek a higher wisdom than our own.
Thanks CB. This could apply also in the UK to our King too. I wrote something similar about our departed Queen last year.
Fido of course is the fount of 99% of all true, helpful, positive, good, etc, wisdom! lol
You are a credit to hymn poems sir
Thanks N. The hymn in the clip is by one of the most eloquent writers, I think - Thomas รก Kempis, 15th Century.
Good one Orchi.
