Praise Profession

Tune: Laos Deo

('Bright the vision that delighted')

Psalm 147 v.1-5

**********

Praise you the Lord, for it good be

To sing praises to Him free

For it is pleasant and comely

Beautiful, joyful it be

 

The Lord Jerusalem does build

Hill and vale and town and field

Gathers the outcasts, forsaken

Restores them now amidst men* (*mankind)

 

He does heal the broken in heart

Wholeness brings to every part

Binds up their wounds, comforts sorrows

Thus each His peace, presence knows

 

He counts the stars, knows their number

Call them by their names, each were

Created by Him, every thing

In heaven and earth, praise bring

 

Bring unto Him, for He is great

And of great power, estate

His understanding infinite

Doing justice, goodness, right

  • Comment from author about the poem: There's not a great amount of material on the Epiphany. I admit I chose some easier format hymns on that theme. I've attempted some with longer lines before, such as 13.10.13.10. or 11.10.11.10. or needing a Chorus as in 'We three kings of Orient are'. Maybe more on this theme to follow. Here's a non-Epiphany hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. Sounds like bingo reading this. lol.

      The Epiphany was my most favourite season as a child. It filled me with such wonder. Good of you to add on to the meagre material on it. 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻

        Thanks A. It's only mentioned in one of the 4 Gospels, plus some prophecies that point forward to it, I think.
