Praise Prelude

orchidee



Tune: Franconia

('Blest are the pure in heart')

Psalm 117

*******

O praise the Lord, all you

Nations, come praise Him true

All you people, Jews and Gentiles

Manifold worship styles

 

For His loving-kindness

His mercy we confess

'Tis great toward us, we do say

He shall show us His way

 

And the truth of the Lord

Endures, His living word

For ever it be, ne'er does cease

Praise Him, the Lord of peace

 

This here a call to praise

Joyful songs, anthems raise

He Lord of all, Almighty be

Blessings has for you, see

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.8.6. This, the shortest Psalm in the Bible, can be a Prelude' to the 'Songs of Ascents' - Psalms 120 to 134 - sung while people made their way up (ascended) the hill to Temple for worship. On the way back they came down the hill.

      there are evidently similarities here with a well known nursery rhyme involving a couple who went by the name Jack n Jill ..

        Yes - also the dizzy grand Old Duke of York. Why he keep marching up and down that hill? The troops will be worn out!
