Tune: Hanover
('O worship the King')
Psalm 103 v.13-19
**********
Like as a father pities his children
So the Lord pities them that fear Him then
For He knows our frame, remembers we are dust
Yet sees us as we turn to Him and Him trust
As for mankind, their days they as grass be
As flower of field flourishes freely
But wind passes over it and it is gone
And its place shall be remembered by no one
But the mercy of the Lord is from e'er
Unto everlasting, in it we share
To them that fear Him, and His righteousness is
To children's children, they shall prosper in this
To such as do keep His covenant sure
And who remember of His commands pure
To do them, the Lord He has His throne prepared
In the heavens, His kingdom rules, it well-fared

Nicely written
Thank you F.
A poem in biblical style that speaks to the shortness or our time. Very nicely written
Thank you SB.
Always welcome my friend
Orchi, I was singing along quite happily...then Ol’ Tomás arrived with knitted choir robes while Obi-Wan attempted to conduct using a lightsaber. The congregation has scattered...and their leaders are now called diaspora deacons! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
We tend to forget what our good Father is. Nicely done with a beautiful accompaniment. Thanks for that one spellcheck!
Thank you JM. It is human 'father' in first line; and God typed as our heavenly Father. One of my favourite tunes and hymns too.
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
Beautiful. Love it.
Thank you T.
