Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen
('All creatures of our God and King')
Psalm 104 v.1-9
*****************
Bless the Lord, O my soul, Him bless
All that is within me confess
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Bless His holy name, O my soul
He has made all things entire, whole
His majesty, honour extol
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
He covers Himself with the light
As a garment exceeding bright
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Stretches out heaven as curtain
And lays beams of His chambers then
In the waters, works shown to men
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
He makes the clouds His chariots
In the skies celestial things set
Alleluia, Alleluia!
He walks upon the wind, its wings
Appoints the seasons, what each brings
All creation unto Him sings
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
He makes His angels spirits fair
And His ministers flaming fire
Alleluia, Alleluia!
They who do serve Him, who had laid
Foundations of earth, here arrayed
So it not shaken e'er, but staid
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
He covered the earth with the deep
When floods their limits did not keep
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Yet if was of His ordaining
Waters in Noah's time did bring
The Lord did show Himself as King
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
At His rebuke thy fled away
Leading to all gradual dry day
Alleluia, Alleluia!
He has set a boundary so
The waters do their limits know
Further than He says they not go
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

I ticked the like box a) because I wanted to check it was still working and b) because having thoroughly checked why your latest hymnal poem is marked with one of those ridiculous 18 plus stickers, and my not being able to identify the reason, imagined I might be going as nutty as the author and didn't want to be subjected to ridicule by not doing so under the circumstances ..

Thanks N. The 18+ box is not ticked. it's appeared on its own. Mayb a blip, as with the 'like' button the other day?
Very gentle erotic it was, I suppose......
Am I able to conclude, on the basis of the evidence presented, that this is not the world famous “Hallelujah’, where “You saw her bathing on the roof, Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya; then “She tied you to her kitchen chair………”
Nah, I can see how it happened – you had to eliminate the Haitch before that hound of yours went into paroxysms…..
Whatever made me mark it 'erotic'? - slip of the finger! lol.
The 18+ has cleared now. Maybe Fido was doing spot-checks?!
Orchi did you get rid of the rating before I got to it? I suppose you removed the spicy parts as well? I think this was why there was a flood in the first place, naughty behavior. Good write Orchi.
Thanks SB. Yes, but 18+ box appeared but not ticked. Eh?
I always love your work my friend !!
Thanks GS.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
