Tune: Albano
('Once, only once, and once for all')
Psalm 123
*******
Unto you, Lord, I lift my eyes
My soul to you allies
You who do in the heavens dwell
Yet each our hearts you tell* (*i.e. 'know')
Behold, as the eyes of servants
Look to their masters hence
And as handmaids look to mistress
We look to you, pray bless
Our eyes upon the Lord God wait
He sees our every state
We wait until he has mercy
On us, this be our plea
Have mercy on us, O Lord, for
We are exceeding sure
Filled with contempt within our souls
Enemies pride takes toll [on us]

A hymn that admits to our human frailties and asks for understanding. Nicely written Orchi
Thank you SB - though KP says 'Only one perfect person - me!' I reply 'A perfect trout, yes.' lol.
Well, gotta keep her from being too big for her boots. lol.
Most welcome Orchi
Great write, Orchi, but I fear Popeyeus heard “have mercy on us” and immediately assumed this was about whatever happened with the sacred spinach last Thursday. Obi-Wan refuses to testify. Glug, glug! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. We can't keep up with their antics. lol.
