A Way Through Woes

orchidee



Tune: St Fulbert

('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')

Psalm 43

*******

Judge me, O God, and my cause plead

Against ungodly, heed

My prayers, come save me from them all

The unjust, deceitful

 

For you are the God of my strength

Why does it seem at length

As if you have cast me off? for

I go mourning, state poor

 

O send out your truth and your light

Let them lead me, shine bright

Leasd me to your house, holy hill

So I will praise you still

 

For you will be my exceeding

Joy, O God, I shall bring

You worship, and on harp shall play

You are my God, I say

 

Why you cast down within, my soul?

The Lord shall make you whole

Though my soul's refrain disquiet be

God is my health, help, see

  • Comment from author about the poem: And now a hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. to an Easter hymn tune (heehee). I'm sure it's Easter next week - eh?! This follows on from a couple of earlier poems on Psalm 42.

    Oh so many woes and do you need any more sylables - they're in short supply at the moment.

        We all look for help in times of trouble and where better to look than toward what you believe has the power to help. Good write Orchi
