All Praise!

orchidee



Tune: Camberwell

(one tune to 'At the name of Jesus')

Psalm 150

********

Praise you the Lord, Him praise

To Him worship raise

Praise Him in His temple

Come join, one and all

Praise Him in His heavens

And His presence sense

Praise Him for His mighty

Acts, they wondrous be

 

Praise Him according to

His works, they not few

But they excellent, great

Let all proclaim, state

Praise Him with trumpet's sound

Joyfulness abound

Praise Him with psaltery* (*psaltery - lute or lyre)

And harp skilfully

 

Praise Him with the timbrel

And dance, on Him call

Praise Him with instruments

Stringed, with good intents

Praise Him with organs, praise

Him, loud cymbals lays* (*'lays' in sense of 'freely given')

Let everything with breath

Praise Him, e'en till death

    Praise him with the electric guitar and synthesizer? Why not! lol Another great hymn Orchi. Don't praise too loud though you'll wake up Fido and KP

          6.5.6.5. 6.5.6.5. My goodness, friend, do you have something against 4s or 7s,? ðŸĪŠðŸ˜œ Just kidding, of course. Those are mighty find metrical numbers and the hymn-poem is, indeed, worth of "All Praise!" Well done, Orchi! ðŸŒđ👏

            Thank you T. I might be in a state - 'all 6's and 7's' as they say! lol. 4 would be very short lines - only 4 syllables.

              Thank you for that,
              Let's see:

              Psalm 23
              (Cali Version)

              The Lord, my dude,
              Is so awesome
              I never want,
              Like, anything.
              He says, "Lie down!"
              So, that I do
              By lazy streams
              Of calm agua.

              😜

                A good write there T - a verse of a hymn-poem in 4.4.4.4. 4.4.4.4. I thought it was 'alga[e]' at first - yuk! lol.

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  LOL! Luck indeed! Thanks, my friend! Meter is fun! ðŸĪĐ

                      Good one Orchi.

                      • orchidee

                        Thank you Gold.

                        I love the enthusiasm that comes through in this hymn of praise Orchi. Sung loud and clear. Happy Wednesday to you and her indoors.

                        • orchidee

                          Thank you Cassie. It reaches the heights in the Psalms, as the last one (150). KP has no breath, as she is not human, so she can't praise! lol. Well, she's probably half human, half something else. heehee.
