Tune: Sharpthorne
('What does the Lord require?')
Parts of Psalms 45 and 46
*********
You throne, O God, does last
Ever from ages past
Never has been downcast
And kingdom's sceptre
Is of righteousness sur
This you do us assure
My heart shall think on you
Holy Lord God and true
I shall speak and shall write
That pleasing in your sight
My tongue a pen it be
Of ready writer, see
Be still, my soul, and know
The Lord is God below
And in heaven does show
He will be exalted
Among the peoples, He
Will in earth rule strong, free
God our strength and refuge
Through all troubles deluge
A very help present
His Spirit to us sent
Fear not, you His people
He shall guide us through all

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.6.6.6.6. Not a difficult format, but not a very well-known hymn. A bit different in AAABBB rhyming in a couple of verses. I usually use ABABAB..... for all verses. The last two lines of each verse in the video are a Refrain really.

'My tongue a pen it be' - Are you spitting on one of those old indelible pencils still?.. Can provide you with a stationer's address in Aussi which could provide you with a ball point pen. Most these days have a push button system, but some still have a cap, You should make your choice at time of sale.
I know you Brits are going through hard times, but that's horrible. Good luck, orchi......
Sir ONS puts ink on his tongue then writes. lol.
Well Orchi reading your hymns/poems I regard as my weekly church duty. Since I read them daily I consider that this serves any religious groups from Christian Sundays, Jewish Saturdays, or Islamic daily prayers A good write Orchi.
Ooh thanks SB.
But - oh no! - one church would not sing any of them. They were too busy with endless, dull Choruses, sung about 500 times each (felt like it) and repeated 2 or 3 weeks in a row. They couldn't get the 'staff these days' for their Music Group, you see! Midn you, they hardly knew what a 'hymn' is, but they know about 5 million Choruses!
Do you know, I sort of fell for it - never hardly hummed a proper hymn to myself or about 2 years!
you need to spit it out .. could be poisonous .. on second thoughts ..
Thanks N. Not 'he who speaks with forked tongue', but 'he who speaks with inky tongue'. lol.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
