Wise Waiting

orchidee



Tune: Franconia

('Blest are the pure in heart')

Psalm 27 v,4-5 & v.14

****************

One thing have I desired

With passion my heart fired

I will seek it, 'tis that I may

Dwell in God's house alway

 

It be the Lord's house where

I desire to stay there

All the days of my life, and to

Behold His beauty true

 

And in His temple to

Enquire of Him, this do

For in troubles He me shall hide

My rock, I here reside

 

Wait on the Lord, and be

Of good courage, and He

Shall strengthen your heart, in faith wait

On the Lord strong and great

      I think God’s house must be full dear Orchi because there are many homeless on the streets. Have yourself a super Saturday.
