Tune: Regent Square
('Fill your hearts with joy and gladness')
Psalm 68 parts
********
Let God arise, let enemies
Be scattered as each Him sees
Let those that hate Him flee before
Him, and so they be gone sure
As the smoke is driven away
So let them be gone this day
O God, when you did go before
Your people, led them out sure
From wilderness to promised land
Guided them by your good hand
Then the earth shook, heavens dropped rain
They sensed your presence again
Sing to God, you kingdoms of earth
Praise Him and give Him His worth
He that upon the heavens rides
None compares to Him besides
He sent out His voice, it mighty
heard by all, for strong it be
Ascribe you strength unto God here
He excellent, and He near
His strength is in the clouds, holy
He be awesome, reigns freely
To His people strength He them gives
And power, He ever lives

I think I'm going daft for it seems that I already read one of your hymns today but it must have been yesterday and it was your comment I read. Really Orchi I think I'm getting too old. This one is a marvelous hymn of praise and it seems old testament and quite Jewish or should I say Israelite. Nicely done my friend.
Thank you SB. I've been posting later in the (UK) day recently. Is it Israel - Palestine - Canaan (of old) - or what?! I think it's different names in different eras.
I think you are right Orchi it is like Persia that became Iran and Iraq or African states that change their name every other week. You are most welcome my friend
KP changes, not her name, but her botox, every week. She would! lol
As I was reading this my dyslexia kicked in and I thought you said she changes her buttocks every week.
Doh! lol. Probably that too. lol
Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Popeyeus Glug Maximus Solus heard "Let God arise" and immediately stood up from his spinach wine barrel, declaring himself ready for battle. Unfortunately, Oi Be confused, and well Ol' Thomas is trying to convert his socks into green vapor masks. Of course, they were only rising for second breakfast. 🍷⚔️🤣 Glug, glug!
Doh! Yes, they arose and thought about battle, then sat down again for more brekkie - spinach for Popeye, and whatever Ol'Tom and Obi eat. lol
Haven't a heart anymore - left it at the hospital (the good doctor).
Local weather report: ' Cool, cloudy with showers' Thought you would want to know...
Oh, how's your health now?
And yes, I was about to ask - how's that start of Winter going there in Australia? Heatwave here, nearing its end. Phew!
Winter hasn't started yet. Andy tells me it is pretty dire over your way .
It's a tad hot! lol.
Just be NS under a cold shower, or sit in front of a fan and spray yourself with water.
You will survive.
Good write O. Looking forward to ridding ourselves of glimpses and making it the default view🕊️🙏🤩
Thank you A. Yes, some have more than glimpses here and now I suppose, then finally it becoming the default view for all.
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
So very true. Another beautiful 😍 write. Be kind to KP
Thank you GS. I will try to be nice to KP. lol. 5 minutes in June was it - that's her year's ration.
Amen - i agree...
Thank you N.
