Merciful Musings

orchidee



Tune: Bread of heaven

('Bread of heaven on thee we feed')

Psalm 67

*******

God to us be merciful

Show us your grace bountiful

Bless us, cause your face to shine

Lighten us with light divine

That your way on earth be known

And your saving health be shown

 

Let, O God, the people praise

You, unto you fair songs raise

O let the nations be glad

Sing for joy, and not be sad

For you shall judge righteously

Your just governance we see

 

Let the people, you God, praise

All people in all their ways

Then shall the earth her increase

Yield, God's love, it shall not cease

For He us shall bless and all

The earth fear Him, on Him call

    that's an awful lot of hymn poems

    • orchidee

      Thanks N. Not an 'e'ermore' here, but a typo - it said 'erth' in last line - now corrected!
      Or was it a poetic 'e'rth'? I talk some rubbish sometimes, as you know. lol.

      "Merciful Musings" is a well-crafted poem that effectively communicates its religious themes and messages of praise and gratitude to God. Its simplicity and accessibility make it a suitable piece for use in religious services or personal devotion.

        Thanks M. I said 'goodbye' to one church, partly as they would not have any of my poems. It was not where they were "at", they said. They had to do 'Choruses', about 500 times the same one - seemed like 500! Oh, they hardly knew what a hymn book is anyway!

        Sing? you boast about your singing (bad that is) means you never heard mine. So that Supreme Being you believe in would vacate that space if I presented my vocal rendition, orchi. Gone. Would ya still crack on with your hymns regardless?

        • orchidee

          Thanks Dave. You musing?!

          • Doggerel Dave

            I do muse orchi, re your plight after your friend in the heavens has done a runner....

              But where can He go, if He is everywhere? omnipresent.

              • Doggerel Dave

                Infinity goes forever in all directions...........

                merciful musings and compassionate crooning... there is comfort in these.

                • orchidee

                  Thanks CB. I'm gonna croon! lol.

                • Rocky Lagou

                  Ah!

                  • orchidee

                    Thanks Rocky.

                    I never knew God "Blees us", maybe he blees you Orchi, and the rest of us he blessed. 🤔

                    • orchidee

                      Oh no, a typo - will correct it! Thanks AP.

                      • Accidental Poet

                        ok, that's a relief. God only knows what blees would be for. Maybe KP knows? 😁

                        Good one Orchi.

                        • orchidee
