Tune: Ye Banks and Braes
('We cannot measure how you heal')
Psalm 77 v.11-20
*********
I will remember of the LORD
His works true and His living word
Surely recall wonders of old
That He has done, that have been told
Your way, O God, it is found in
The sanctuary, yes there within
And who so great a God as you
We here your holy way pursue
You are the God who wonders do
Have shown your strength, and do renew
Your people, keep them as you sheep
Through pathways smooth, rugged, or steep
You have with your arm redeemed sure
Your people Israel evermore
Sons of Jacob and Joseph, they
Do follow you and watch and pray
The waters, O God, you they saw
And they were there affrighted sore
The depths too, troubled at you sight
You, Lord of power, wisdom, might
The clouds poured water on the earth
The skies did thunder, sound their worth
Your arrows of lightning went forth
Spread o'er the land, east, west, south, north
The earth trembled at such a scene
Your greatness shown, not small or mean
Your way, O LORD, is in the sea
Your path in the great waters be
And your footsteps, they are not known
Cannot to humans full be shown
Your people like a flock you led
Moses and Aaron at their head

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8888 8888 metre (Double Long Metre = DLM). Sounds a bit like The Skye Boat Song tune. I found an apt Scottish clip.
