Fits tune and hymn name: Lord of the Dance
Based on Psalm 66 v.1 - 12
********
Make a joyful noise to the Lord all lands
He has created all things by His hands
Sing forth the honour of His name
Make His praise glorious, His the fame
Chorus
O bless our God, all you people
Turn unto Him, He will hear your call
And make the voice of His praise to be heard
Depend and trust now on His every word
Say unto God, how awesome your works are
Earth, sky, sea, heavens, and each bright burning star
Your enemies shall submit to you
Through works great in power that you do - Chorus
All the earth shall give worship unto you
And shall sing to you, you do them renew
Come see God's works, the deeds that He does
Awesome deeds among mankind, the cause - Chorus
The cause why we praise Him, He does e'er rule
By His power for ever, He does us call
He turned back the sea by His strong hand
And so we went through as on dry land - Chorus
His eyes do the nations behold now sure
Let not rebellious exalt selves no more
He holds our soul in life as Shepherd
And we His sheep, His voice we have heard - Chorus
You suffer not our feet here to be moved
Though you have tested us, and have us proved
You tried us as silver fine is tried
But brought us forth, as unto you we cried - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem, with verses in 10.10.9.9. metre, and chorus in 8.9.10.10. metre - or 'irregular'. A quite familiar tune, but tricky to fit other words to it.

The idea of 'dance' may not appeal to everyone. it can be a literal dance, or can be in a poetic sense of the 'dance of life'. It's a great hymn, though I found it a bit eccentric in places for a while, when I first came across it!
Thanks DS.
Good write again a Orchi.
Well, as Walmart is irrelevant to this poem, I shall delete it.
