Fits tune: Unter Herrscher
('Come ye faithful, raise the anthem')
Psalm 95
*********
1. O come let us to the LORD sing
Praises from each heart now ring
Joyful noise make, acclamation
He the rock of salvation
Let us come before Him thankful
He will greet us, one and all
2. Make a joyful noise now, psalms bring
All that has breath, every thing
For the LORD, a great God is He
Great King above all gods be
In His hands are the deep places
Of the earth, e'en all races
3. The strength of the hills is His too
He creates all ,does renew
The sea is His, and He made it
His hands made dry land, each bit
O come let us bow down, worship
Kneel, and praise with joyful lips
4. For He is our God, and we be
People of His pasture, see
And the sheep of His hand, we say
He our good Shepherd for aye (ever)
Today if you will hear His voice
Make Him now your loving choice
5. Harden not your hearts, as in past
People's faithfulness not last
But the LORD they did provoke sore
Tempted Him so, more and more
In the wilderness they wandered
Proved, tested Him, undeterred
6. Forty years the LORD He was grieved
Murmurings He heard, received
And said, 'tis a generation
That err in heart, whole nation
And they had not the LORD's ways known
Though He there to them had shown
7. And so the word pronounced, spoken
This His displeasure's token
That He swore in His wrath truly
To them, that they should not be
Partakers of His rest, for they
Did not follow Him alway

GREAT ADVICE STEVE Make a joyful noise unto the LORD" AMEN ~ BRIAN
Yep I will Bri - do ya hear me?! Meeoowwwooo! Now I must stop insulting cats, by saying my singing is like two cats fighting! heehee.
A thoughtful story of sheep and their journey toward spiritual blessings ending in warning to those who cause God's displeasure - a fine verse my friend.
Thanks Fay. Yes, not all Psalms are 'jolly'. Or some have a change of tone part-way through. I suppose there's the 'ahh' factor with sheep, but they can be foolish at times too.
Another brill write O
Thanks M.
Good write Orchi.
Thanks G/F. Any sheep in those fields at Hastings in 1066?!
