Resolve To Rest

orchidee



Tune: Ewing

('Jerusalem the golden')

Psalm 37 v.5-11

********

Commit your way to the Lord

Trust in Him and His word

And He shall bring things to pass

On Him your burden cast

He shall your righteousness

Brin forth, you shall Him bless

He shall give light and judgment

As clear as noonday sent

 

Rest in the Lord, wait patient

For Him, and not relent

Fret not yourself of they who

Prosper and evil do

Cease from anger, wrath forsake

And harmony, peace make

Fret not yourself to do sin

It shall cause harm therein

 

For evildoers the ysahll

Be destroyed, know it well

But they that on the Lord wait

Shall inherit estate

Of the earth, it be the due

Of meek and lowly too

They shall have abundant peace

Delights that never cease

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.6.7.6. 7.6.7.6. I sang this hymn in a dusty-smelling old church, though pews had been polished. It gave an ethereal atmosphere.

    Somehow the meek inherit the earth, not the proud arrogant, etc.

      there's no point in overdoing it Steven .. maybe a rest is for the best .. & for all of us .. I do like the smell of old dusty churches, cathedrals and temples .. not so keen on old dusty hutches .. Neville

        I used to let my friends carry my back pack. I told them it was very Christian to carry another man's burden. That is also an interesting thought, to smell the music, it gives it a whole different appeal. Nice one Orchi.

          Thanks SB. Depends if the dust irritates us, starts us coughing, etc. lol.

          Ah.. as if we were sitting with David himself!

          • orchidee

            Thanks John. I thought at first that David wrote ALL the Psalms, but he didn't! Though it looks like he wrote this one, No.37.

            • John Lee

              Correct Solomon and others also wrote Psalms.. Psalms are still being written today

              God one Orchi.
