Awesome Acclaimings

Tune: Old Hundredth

('All hail, adoréd Trinity'

= 'All people that on earth do dwell')

Psalm 66 v.1-7

********

Make joyful noise to God, all lands

You all created by His hands

Sing forth the honour of his name

Make glorious His praise and fame

 

Say unto God, How awesome are

You in your works! To farthest star

Through the greatness of your power

Enemies shall submit each hour

 

Submit themselves to you, for they

Shall not obtain victory's day

All the earth shall come, worship you

Sing to you, to your name e'er true

 

Come, see the works of the Lord, He

Terrible, awesome in works be

In His doings unto mankind

he Red Sea in old days did bind

 

Turned Red Sea into dry land, they

His people went through river's way

On foot, and rejoiced in Him there

Protected them with His strong care

 

he rules by His people for e'er

His eyes behold how nations fare

Let not rebellious exalt

Themselves, lest He find in them fault

    Truly awsome Orchi, in every sense of the word!

      Thanks Bella. An olde-style hymn in the clip - as old as me - and you?! 🙂

        That would be one hell of a combined age, let me tell you.
