Righteous Rejoicing

orchidee



Tune: Woodlands

('Tell out my soul')

Psalm 98

**********

O sing unto the Lord now a new song

For He has done marvellous things life-long

His hand and strength gives Him the victory

He has made known His salvation here free

 

His righteousness He has to all reveled

With His mercy, truth, has to all appealed

All the ends of the earth they have seen sure

The salvation of our God, His good store

 

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all earth

Make loud noise, and rejoice, give Him His worth

Break forth in song, sing praise unto the Lord

With harps, voice of a psalm address your words

 

Sound too trumpets and cornets, make joyful

Noise before the Lord, the King, one and all

And creation join in, the seas fullness

Waves roar, and with all His people Him bless

 

The whole world, and all they that dwell therein

And rivers clap their hands, new tunes begin

Let the hills and mountains be joyful, for

The Lord their Creator shows judgement pure

 

For He comes to judge the earth righteously

With holy justice, no unfairness be

He the Lord and King, the world and people

He shall judge with equity unto all

      Thank you SB. 'Religion' might be the problem for many disputes. I prefer 'Spiritual' but will use 'Religion' too. I mean, we can even religiously follow our favourite football team, etc.

        You are most welcome my friend. You are right and I follow the same thought

          Orchi, you’ve gathered humanity, rivers, mountains, oceans, and instruments into one enormous choir...though I suspect Popeye is demanding a solo in the Glug-hymn before the final verse! What will he sing? WCAT! Of course? Tune in...if you dare. Joyful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            Thank you T. I\'m only following the Psalm really.
            Meanwhile - a music group, with Popeye on the glug-o-phone (xylophone or something); Ol\' Tom playing the drums with his knitting needles; and Obi fighting the forces of darkness with his sabre. As for the Baters involvement - WCAT! lol.
