Tune: St Timothy
('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')
Psalm 57 v.7-11
********
My heart is steadfast, O God, fixed
Not with worldly things mixed
I will sing and give praise to you
Worship and honour true
Awake up my tongue, for to sing
And too instruments bring
To play, to make the pleasant sound
May it worthy be found
I myself will awake early
To offer you praise free
O Lord, among the people, see
And serve you faithfully
For your mercy is great unto
The heavens with high view
And your truth to the clouds reaches
Your word it us teaches
Be you exalted, God, above
The heavens in your love
Let your glory be above all
The earth, we on you call

Okay Orchi singing and waking up early I have already done today. I could use a little mercy though.lol Good write Orchi
Thanks SB. It's PP2 poem I think. PP1 is in the Archives somewhere.
You needing that mercy, cos I'm gonna sing early, and torture folk all day?! lol.
Erm, I didn't quite get the hang of it. I sang 'The day though gavest, Lord, is ended' in the morning! lol.
I can relate to the waking up early. I'm up every morning at 5:50, out the door by 6:15 and spend a wonderful hour, just me and him walking together. I tell him all about what's going on with me and he never interrupts, but listens compassionately. Great Orchi!
Thanks B. KP always interrupts me - for more botox money. lol.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
