Prosperous Praise

orchidee



Tune: Bunessan

('Morning has broken')

Psalm 92 v.1-5 and v.12-13

***********

It is a good thing to give praise unto

The Lord, and to sing praises anew

Unto your name, O most High, and declare

Your loving kindness, it always there

 

And to show your faithfulness every day

Bring forth instruments, and to Him play

With solemn sounds, melodic, enhancing

Worship to Him which we do Him bring

 

For you, Lord, have through your works made us glad

We triumph in you, not fore'er sad

Your thoughts to us they are very deep for

You do tend and keep us your sheep sure

 

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree

Grow strong as Lebanon's cedars be

They that be planted in the Lord's house they

Shall prosper in Him and His good way

    • orchidee

      Thank you SB.

      • sorenbarrett

        You are most welcome Orchi

        Orchi, “We triumph in you, not fore'er sad” really holds the center here…simple, direct, and full of lift. That line carries the piece. And just when it settles in…there’s that soft glug of humanity underneath it all. Nicely done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

        Wait...what was that? "soft glug of humanity?" Damn it Popeye, what does that mean? Wait...stop! WCAT! 🤣

          Thank you T. But, alas, we knew Popeye would ruin things somehow! lol.

            I mean...he never fails. Kinda like Jesus...and yes, even Jesus just face-palmed on that joke! 🤷‍♂️🤣

              Popeye, the head of the WCAT Broadcasting Company! Members include Obi and Ol'Tom and several Baters family, friends, and relatives. lol.

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                And, now...I hear an Ol' Harry has hopped aboard the WCAT train, but which Harry might he be. Harry Potter? Harry, who met Sally? Harry Henderson? Harry Belafonte? Harry Clark? Every Harry? (That could get quite hairy 🤷‍♂️). Only time will tell!
