Fits tune: Remembrance
('Tell me the old, old story')
Based on Psalm 99
********
The Lord reigns, you people tremble
At His feet humbly fall
He sits between the cherubims
To Him offer thanks, hymns
Let the earth be moved, for
He great in Zion, sure
And high above all people
Though on Him all may call
Chorus
Exalt the Lord our God high
Yet knowing that He is nigh
Worship here, His holy hill
For He is holy still
Let them praise, raise your name great
Awesome it is, so state
You love judgement and equity
Your judgements right we see
So exalt Him highly
The Lord our God is He
The earth His footstool, heaven His throne
He salvation has shown
Chorus
You spake from cloudy pillar
Commandments did confer
You forgave them, your people sure
Though took your vengeance pure
On evil deeds, invented then
Plots, plans, schemings of men
For still remained your holiness
Sin's stains you will ne'er bless
Chorus

A soul-stirring read my friend and put to music would enhance even the tune to Remembrance.
Good write.
