Trust And Abide

orchidee



Tune: St Anne

('O God our help in ages past')

Psalm 125

********

They that trust in the Lord shall be

As the mount Zion, see

Which cannot be removed, does stand

Abides e'er in the land

 

As the mountains are round about

And do surround, no doubt

Jerusalem, so the Lord is

Round about us, true this

 

From henceforth even for ever

His presence always there

The wicked shall not their lot spoil

Evil plans not good foil

 

Do good, Lord, to those that good be

Their upright hearts you see

Though the wicked be led astray

Lead [the] good in your peace-way

    sounds a bit like something a certain JC is once thought to have said ... abide, abode a bidet .. 🐀

      Thanks N. Dunno about bidet. lol. The quite well-known hymn is 'Trust and obey'.

      "Which cannot be removed, does stand
      Abides e'er in the land"
      A great and comforting thought that science would dispute with entropy. Loved the thought and the music Orchi.
