Tune: Little Cornard

('Hills of the north, rejoice')

*******

Psalm 47 v.1-2

Clap your hands. people all

Unto your God now call

Shout with triumphant voice

You have made Him your choice

For the LORD most high terrible

Is great King o'er the earth aweful

 

Psalm 48 v.1

Great is the LORD, greatly

To be praised e'er is He

In the city of God

Where your footsteps have trod

Mount Zion, city of the King

In Jerusalem to Him sing

 

Psalm 48 v.12

Walk about Zion, go

Round her palaces, know

'Tis where the LORD resides

Whence do flow all good tides (tidings)

Tell too her bulwarks and towers

Hs grace generations empowers

 

Psalm 47 v.7

God o'er the earth is King

Come now, Him praises bring

Sing with understanding

Let voice of worship ring

He reigns o'er all, o'er heathen too

Holy, enthroned, makes all things new

 

Psalm 46 v.1-2

God is our strength, refuge

He will help us, deluge

Pour upon enemy

We His victory shall see

For He our help, is here present

In Him we trust, full confident

 

Psalm 48 v.14

This God our God for e'er

In His life we may share

He will us always guide

He has not us denied

Our guide even unto our death

Until we draw our final breath

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 666688 metre. Sorry if the rendition in the clip is sung too fast, at about 100mph! I don't like it much - too gabbled! Hymn can be sung slower.

    Thanks STEVE ~ love Praise and the Poems. I love to transpose a PSALM or a verse of a PSALM into a Poem (Psalm 104 tomorrow !) Of course in the original HEBREW ~ each Psalm is a Poem ~ some are acrostics etc ! Thanks for caring about us SPIRITUALLY ~ You friend BRIAN

      Thanks B. I think they've ruined the hymn in this clip. They seem to sing it even faster than The Battle Hymn of the Republic: 'Mine eyes have seen the glory....' You doing ALL of Psalm 104?!

    • Goldfinch60

      Amen, Orchi, Amen.

        Thanks G/F. You singing it as quick as them? I wouldn't like to be in that choir. I would be worn out, with gabbling that quick.

        • Goldfinch60

          It is a bit quick but I am sure that our choir would cope with it.

            I'm sure it's too fast. Only ever heard it medium speed or slow.
