Passover Psalmings

Tune: Deus Tuorum Militum

('Awake, awake, fling off the night')

Parts of Psalms 113 to 118 - Psalms sung at Jewish festival of Passover

***********

113 v.3

From the rising of the sun to

Its going down each day, 'tis true

That the Lord's name is to be praised

And unto Him fresh anthems raised

 

114 v.8

Tremble you, earth, at God's presence

Presence of God of Israel sense

Who turned rock into water pool

The flint to fount of waters full

 

115 v.1

Not to us, O Lord, but to you

To your name be the glory true

Praising you for your mercy sure

And for your truth's sake evermore

 

115 v.16

The heavens, e'en the highest realms

Are the Lord's, He is at the helms

But the earth He has to us given

Let us partake, care-take it then

 

116 v.7

Return to your rest, O my soul

The Lord has helped you, will whole

He has with you dealt bountifully

His good plans and ways you do see

 

118 v.24

This is the day the Lord has made

Let us Him trust, be unafraid

We will rejoice in it, be glad

Remain not always mournful, sad

 

117 v.1-2

Praise Him all nations, all people

Look unto Him and on Him call

His merciful kindness is great

To us, truth ever is His state
