From Mourning To Joy

orchidee



Tune: Church Triumphant

('The Lord is King, lift up thy voice')

Psalm 30 parts

*********

Sing to the Lord, you saints of His

Find in Him your contentment, bliss

Give thanks too at remembrance

Of His holiness, pure presence

 

For His anger it does endure

A moment, then His mercy sure

And in His favour there is life

His help through earthly trouble, strife

 

Weeping may endure for a night

But then comes morning's promised light

And joy comes, tears are dried, rejoice

For they who make the Lord their choice

 

You have turned for me my mourning

Into dancing, new hope you bring

My sackcloth, mourning garments you

Have put off, gave me gladness true

 

So that my tongue may sing praise to

You, be not silent, worship you

O Lord my God, I will thanks give

To you who save me, I shall live

          Indeed, with the resurrected sun/Son in the coming Dawn, morning brings about the end of mourning and the culmination of Joy. Powerful, dawning hymn-poem, my dear friend! 🌹👏
