Tune: Coe Fen
('How shall I sing that majesty')
Psalm 80 parts
*******
Turn us again, Lord, us restore
E'en to earth's farthest shore
Cause your face to shine here and so
Salvation we shall know
Give ear, Shepherd of Israel
Your leadings shall not fail
They are your flock, you do them feed
And attend to their need
You who dwell between cherubims
Shine forth, each to you hymns
A song of praise and worship too
Come to us, us renew
Stir up your strength, us come and save
The way to life you pave
Cast us not off, we look to you
To save sure not a few
The vineyard which your right hand strong
Had planted all along
And the branches, shoots, all you made
Through you they were firm, staid
But now it is with fire burned
Israel not to you turned
But they perish at your rebuke
A state bereft, forsook
Yet come save us, Lord, we do pray
And bring salvation's day
The Son of Man He shall prosper
He shall to your will stir
So then we will no more go back
Desire for you not lack
Quicken, revive us by your grace
And we shall seek your face

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
oooh that is something worth its weight in prayer and adoration: restoring requests.
Thanks CB.
Another nice write Orchidee. Although not religious I loved the lines: "You who dwell between cherubims Shine forth, each to you hymns A song of praise and worship too Come to us, us renew" They gave a wonderrful feeling to them.
Thanks SB.
Great use of u’s, and it’s not even about you!
Thanks JM. I saw subtitles using 'u's. They did not say 'you two', but said 'youse'. That's neither American or UK!
