Tune: St Gregory (or Irish)
('With glorious clouds encompassed round')
Psalm 111
*******
O praise the Lord, I will Him praise
With my whole heart Him raise
Midst His people, holy, upright
He glorious to our sight
His works are great, and they are sought
Out by them He has taught
By them that have pleasure herein
His works all free from sin
His works honourable, glory
In each one do we see
His righteousness endures for e'er
His wonders forgot ne'er
He gracious, full of compassion
Reaches each daughter, son
He gives food unto them that fear
Him His covenant near
He has showed His people the power
Of His works every hour
That He may give them heritage
Of heathen of each age
Works of His hands are verity
Truth and judgement they be
All His commandments they be sure
Abiding evermore
He sent redemption to people
To those who on Him call
Has commanded His covenant e'er
Unto us did declare
Holy and reverend His name
Worthy of endless fame
The fear of the Lord does become
Beginning of wisdom
A good understanding have they
Who do here watch, obey
All they that do His commandments
They praise Him, penitents

the principle behind compassion & caring is well established I wonder why so few put it into practice ..
Thanks N. People's selfishness, as one main reason, I would say.
I only don't put it into practice, in dealing with KP! heehee.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
