Tune: Coe Fen
('How shall I sing that majesty?')
Parts of Psalms 84, 85, 86
************
How amiable are your tents
Where we your presence sense
Your tabernacles, Lord of hosts
In you we make our boasts
My soul longs, yes, faints for His courts
To Him be my resorts
My heart and flesh cry out to know
The living God anew
Blessed are they whose strength is in you
And those who your ways do
They pass through valley, make a well
Of you they good things tell
The rain shall fill the pools therein
Refresh and cleanse from sin
They shall be fruitful, glorify
The Lord, He with them nigh
Turn us, God of our salvation
Lord over each nation
Cause your anger to us to cease
Grant us your life and pace
Will you for ever angry be?
Shall we your grace not see?
Will you not again us revive
That we in you joy, thrive?
The Lord shall give us what is good
He will do as He would
Still to bless, give our land increase
And from our sins release
Righteousness it shall go before
You, set our steps for sure
In your way, that we follow on
Trusting in Christ your Son
Teach me your way Lord, I wll walk
In your truth, of you talk
Unite my heart to your name fear
And reverence it dear
I will, O Lord my God, praise you
With all my heart ensue
To glorify your name for e'er
You come, you leave us ne'er

I couldn't find many clips of this hymn - have to watch it on You Tube!
I’m still torn. Lately I’ve been thinking it’s all just made up as a way to affect the behavior of the masses by promising something you can’t prove. It’s cheaper than maintaining a bigger military to keep the peace.
Thanks Bobby. Some say I've been brainwashed - but if so, then so has someone who does all sorts of cranky therapies! Or some say that I brainwash them.
I call my poems 'spiritual' and not 'religion', to hopefully avoid all the controversy over 'religion'.
I’m glad you have that conviction, not trying to convince or impose theory but you seem cool so I figured you don’t take debate personally. I got rocked hard by stuff I wish were different and I don’t believe in getting bitter it mean but I do get skeptical. LIKE dat!
Ere it's 40c so please do forgive my tardiness I've been having a lovely long swim. 💖
No danger of a heatwave just yet for us again here. Pop over and see us. Some nice heavy showers, if ya fancy them. Ohh, and a fine gusty wind at times for now. But around 20C or more is pleasant and bearable. They keep saying 40C for us in UK, only because it happened on ONE day last year. Doh!
Some London rain is just what I need today my dear orchi, believe me . ❤️
It's not the rain in itself, it's drivers after heavy showers. Some enjoy driving past puddles fast, and soaking us. The sadists!
👍… This emoji stuff might work. Only GPDs might know!
Thanks JM.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
