Respectful Reverence

orchidee



Fits tune: Laudate Domino

('O praise ye the Lord')

Psalm 111 v.1 - 6

**********

1. The LORD will I praise

I will Him up raise

Engage my whole heart

My all, every part

Singing with His people

Gathered, one and all

The great congregation

Partakes, each nation

 

 

2. The LORD's works are great

Of noble estate

And they are sought out

Without delay, doubt

And all those that pleased be

They in His work,s ee

Rejoice therein, praising

To God their true King

 

3. The LORD's works they be

Displayed honourably

He glorious too

Worship to Him due

His righteousness endures

E'ermore to all shores

His works they wonderful

We may them recall

 

4. And gracious is He

Compassionate be

The LORD, His nature

We here discern sure

To those who do Him fear

He feeds, He is near

Of His covenant mindful

Trusting, we not fall

 

5. The works of His power

He has shown each hour

That He may us give

Heritage, we live

Even heathen places

Of all creeds, races

Given to His peoples

Each one that he calls
