Tune: St George's, Windsor [Series: Hymns with Saints Tunes 2]
('Come, ye thankful people, come')
Psalm 65 v.6-13
***********
By His strength the Lord does set
The mountains, they stand firm yet
They are girded with power
They immovable each hour
And He stills noise of the seas
Quietens waves as He does please
Makes people's strivings to cease
Brings in harmony and peace
Even unto distant lands
Folk see the works of His hands
They stand in awe, outgoings
Of morns, eves, each of them sings
He visits the earth, waters
It, causes rains, showers stirs
With river of God waters
It, prosperity confers
He does for the earth provide
Where inhabitants reside
Ridges, furrows of the fields
Showers unto them revealed
Makes the land soft, crops do grow
So He does His blessings show
Crowns the year with His goodness
Plenteous harvest, we confess
Land brings forth abundantly
His provision all do see
Pastures they are with flocks clothed
On them His graces bestowed
Valleys covered o'er with grain
Corn flourishes once again
Even they shout for joy, sing
Creation worship Him brings

Orchi, Popeye has demanded that the hymn be rewritten in 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.SPINACH! The choirmaster has resigned, and nobody knows where the organist went. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
