Everlasting Exhortation

orchidee



Tune: O Waly Waly

('An upper room did our Lord prepare')

Psalm 103 v.13-18

********

As a father pities his children

So does the Lord pity them then

That fear Him, show awe and reverence

They do His holy presence sense

 

For He knows our frame, He remembers

That we are dust, though He assures

Us with His help and comforts, our days

Are blessed if settled in His ways

 

As for mankind, their days are as grass

As flowers of fields in seasons pass

Flourishes for a while, then wind blows

Over them, place gone, none it knows

 

But the mercy of the Lord it be

From everlastingly constantly

And even unto everlasting

He shall His people good things bring

 

To they that fear Him, and righteousness

To their descendants, shall them bless

They who obey, and His commands do

They favoured with His life anew

        My parents used to tell me the same thing. Our commandments obey and they told me many times my ass was grass. Good write Orchi
