Salvation Security

orchidee



Fits tune: Randolph

('God be with you till we meet again')

Based on parts of Psalm 53

********

The fool says in heart, There is no God

Corrupt they, abominable deeds done

There is none that does good, not one

The fool says in heart, There is no God

 

God looked down from heaven upon men

Seeing if any did Him seek

None understood, all gone back, weak

God looked down from heaven upon men

 

Those who continue sin, know they not?

Who eat up God's people as bread

Have followed evil ways instead

Those who continue sin, know they not?

 

God shall put His enemies to shame

Those who oppress sore, persecute

All their troublous deeds shall refute

God shall put His enemies to shame

 

O that salvation of Israel

Would come out of Zion, tongues tell

How He would redeem them, do well

O for salvation of Israel!

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 9.8.8.9. metre. Seemed easier to repeat the first and last lines, as in the original hymn. I've not sung it a lot since leaving Primary School at age 11 (!)

    Thanks all. I suppose they are hymn-poems / psalms / prayers - all or some of these could apply. Feel free to call them what you will.
