Tune: Marching
(one tune to:' Father, hear the prayer we offer')
Psalm 31 v.21-24
******
Blessed be the Lord, He has shown me
His kindness in strong city
It be marvellous, His grace to
Me He does surely renew
For I said in my haste, I be
Cut off, way ahead not see
Nevertheless you my voice heard
In my prayers, my every word
O love the Lord, you His people
He preserves, keeps the faithful
Fully repays they who evil
Do, they shall not stand, but fall
Be of good courage and He shall
Strengthen your heart, tend you well
All you that hope in the Lord, He
Shall come to your help, so be

A lovely hymn Orchi well written
Thank you SB.
Most welcome Orchi
I've got two left feet (marching??)
Thank you D. lol. There's no hope for Sir Orchi NS when he's in his NS state.
One heck of a hymn, Orchi! P. Solus was greatly relieved to learn that help is coming. He has therefore stopped doing absolutely everything for himself and is presently lying beside the road glugging. I told him hope still requires participation. He glugged twice! lol. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️
Thank you T. lol. Can he be helped?! lol.
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
Old faith in plain words—steady as stone, no need to shout to be heard.
Feels like a man leaning on something that’s held longer than he has.
Thank you T.
