A Prayer of King Nebuchadnezzar

orchidee



Tune: St Helen

('Lord of Lords and King eternal')

Daniel 4 v.34-37

*********

Nebuchadnezzar, he the King

Of Babylon, he did bring

Praise and worship to God most High

And did sense His presence nigh

Honoured Him who lives for ever

His dominion fades never

 

And all of earth's inhabitants

Are counted as nothingness

In their pride and selfish glory

As too did apply to me

He does according to His will

In the heaven and earth still

 

None can restrain His hand, nor can

Argue with Him as mere man

Then Nebuchadnezzar's reason

Returned, though for a season

The Lord God had him humbled, for

He was proud, selfish, for sure

 

Now he praised and extolled the King

Of heaven, tributes did bring

And thanks for his restoration

He great King of the nation

Knowing now the Lord's ways are true

And He just judgement does do

      Know this geezer from Sunday school - though I could never spell it, his name had a certain ring. Don't test me on what else about him 'cos I can't remember, and having peered at his Wikipedia page, I've done a quick bolt back here and will accept willingly your version....
