Tune: St Hilda
('O happy band of pilgrims')
Psalm 9 v.7-11
*******
The Lord shall endure ever
His years they end never
He has His throne prepared for
His righteous judgement sure
He shall judge in righteousness
And deal in uprightness
He will be a refuge for
The oppressed, needy, poor
They that know His name, they will
Put their trust in Him still
For the Lord has not forsook
But us to Him has took
He will not leave those who seek
Him, humble, loving, meek
Sing praises to the Lord, He
Dwells in Zion, so be
Zion, where His temple be
Upon that mount, here see
Declare midst people His deeds
He who unto us heeds

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.6.7.6. format. Two Hymnographers? Me, and the writer of the hymn in the video, St Joseph the Hymnographer. Did I help him write the hymn when I met him in 850AD? - I'm very old ya know!

Do you know St Joe (Joseph)?!
hymnographer is a new one on me Steven .. expect they're like buses .. you wait an entire lifetime to see one and then .. bingo two turn up within seconds .......... 😎
Thanks N. lol.
I'm beginning to believe you are older than that Lord... Do you pay rent or a tithe? And wot about that hound? Generally dogs have shorter lives than humans.... when is Fido's time up? I can't wait..... (manic chuckle).
Thanks Dave.
'Thanks' is an insufficient response, orchi: are you not going to release me from the well of ignorance down which I currently dwell?
