Fits tune: Christchurch [Steggall]
('Now is eternal life')
Psalm 86 v.1 - 10
********
1. Bow down, O LORD, your ear
Receive your servant dear
For poor and needy I
To you for refuge fly
Preserve my soul, I to you pray
For I am holy, this I say
2. You my God surely are
You hear me from afar
And too when I am near
And feel your presence here
Save your servant, I trust in you
Come help me with your graces true
3. Be merciful to me
And my afflictions see
Return unto my soul
Grant me joy, make me whole
For to you my soul I uplift
Let not evil me shake and sift
4. For you, O Lord, are good
I worship as I should
For you shall come, forgive
In your sight I shall live
Plenteous in mercy you are
To who call on you, morning-star
5. Give ear, Lord, to my prayer
I trust that you are there
And to my voice attend
Supplications I send
Unto your throne of grace, you will
in my troubles answer me still
6. Among the gods there be
None other like you, we
Confess you Lord of all
Hear those who on you call
Nor any works are like to yours
Your creation it you adores
7. All nations who you made
Redemption price you paid
For them, they shall come to
You, and shall worship you
And too your name shall glorify
Almighty God, who ne'er shall die
8. For you, O Lord, are great
Majestic your estate
And you do wondrous things
Your people to you sings
For you, O God, are God alone
The earth and heavens are your own

Oohh the church organ in the clip is in Scalford. It's in Leicestershire, near Melton Mowbray. Only 4 miles away from me pork pies! (Goldie knows!).
Oh lol, there's a Pork Pie Association there, in M/Mowbray. Have you joined too, Goldie?!
Thanks STEVEN ~ Love the tune and every verse of your POEM ! I have been to Melton Mowbray ~ Pork Pies ~ Hazlet and Stilton Cheese ? All scrumptious and only available in the UK ! Yours BRIAN
M M is only up the road from me - not a lover of pork pies but love stilton. Love your skill at writing these tracts as well.
Thanks M. Heehee pork pies and sherry and my obsessions in my mad moments. Bit like that 1066 stuff!
I know all about Orchi (Porchi) and his Pork Pies, please do not get in his way when he is on the hunt for them otherwise he will put water in your scotch!
Good write by the way.
Thanks G. heehee.
