Tune: Lyngham
('O for a thousand tongues to sing')
Psalm 113
********
Praise, praise the Lord you His servants
Come into His presence
Come into His presence
Blessed be His name for evermore
The name of the Lord sure
The name of the Lord sure
The name, the name of the Lord sure
From rising of sun to its setting
Unto him your praise bring
Unto Him your praise bring
The Lord is high above nations
People of all stations
People of all stations
People, people of all stations
And His glory above the heavens
Who is like to Him then?
Who is like to Him then?
He dwells on high, becomes humble
To see things in earth all
To see things in earth all
To see, to see things in earth all
He raises up poor from the dust
In Him they put their trust
In Him they put their trust
And raises needy from ahs heap
He provides, dies them keep
He provides, does them keep
He provides, He provides, does them keep
Sets them with those who honoured be
They prosperity see
They prosperity see
Gives family unto childless
They rejoice and Him bless
They rejoice and Him bless
They rejoice, they rejoice and Him bless

Good write O
I always felt that to be true; having been once orphaned by society once a long time ago. 🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you A.
You’re welcome O🙏🏻🕊
This hymn seems to represent a good deal of chorus and should be fun to sing. Nice one Orchi
Yes - thank you SB.

Sweet Spiritual Rhythms
Thank you R.
Excellent write
Thank you T.
You're welcome
Wait, you 86'd this twice? Wow! Oh, wait...that's just the meter. Doh! 🤪 Well done, my friend! 🌹
Thank you R. Well, 8.6.8.6. is known as \'Common Meter\' or CM.
Yes. Indeed. Commonly 86'd! 🤣
I can't put 86, or it will be 86 syllables per line! So it's 8.6. etc. There's a challenge lol. Waffle on for 86 syllables.
I’m still trying to to decide whether you have got a touch of echolalia or are paraphrasing yourself Steven .. Neville
Thank you N. I could have put 'x2' in brackets by the relevant lines, or however many repeats, I suppose. I'm repeating myself, I say, I'm repeating.....
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
