Winsome Worship

orchidee



Tune: Guiting Power

('Christ triumphant, ever reigning')

********

Songs and praises everlasting

Bring to Christ your King

Melodies pleasant now raising

Above everything

He the Lord for evermore

He reigns for sure

We Him adore

 

Scriptures they to us are written

All contained therein

We may grow so, ever learning

With thoughts discerning

Led by His Spirit to know

His trust, 'tis so

Grace here bestowed

 

Lifting hearts and hands and voices

We worship in this

Trusting to His presence daily

To continual be

With us, in us, all around

The solid ground

In Christ we [are] found

 

All shall come to obey your rule

None shall doubt or stall

But you shall show yourself as Lord

True, it be your word

And each enemy submit

In every whit

'Tis meet* and fit

-----

* 'meet' in the sense of suitable, appropriate.

        All those hymns, all those threats to sing the bible stories, yet I've never heard the Song of Solomon appear here. I got all hot and bothered age 14 when I read it in my King Jim version, just before I waved goodbye........phew!

        • orchidee

          That Song of Solomon can make us swoon if we look into some of the metaphors in it! I will pick out non-swoony bits.

          • Doggerel Dave

            Its in the Bible, mate You can't pick and choose. That's the fault of a number of religions.

            Fair warning: You haven't heard the last of this. Keep your peepers glued to the usual place - a full exposé will be coming to a community page near you in the not too distant future............🤣 😂🤣

            • orchidee

              I won't enter into meanings of 'gardens' etc in that Song of Solomon. I will only swoon! lol.

              • Doggerel Dave

                When I present my findings to the MPS Community, You will do more than swoon.... You will ask for Andy's help to find permanent residency in 1066..... I will miss you, but truth will out.....
