Tune: Ode To Joy

('Joyful, joyful, we adore thee')

*********

Psalm 31 v.1-2

In you, O LORD, I put my trust

I who am but earth and dust

Let me never be ashamed for

I do trust your mercies sure

Deliver me, you are righteous

You will keep and guard sure us

Bow down your ear, deliver me

You my strong rock e'er will be

 

Psalm 31 v.2-3

And a house of defence, shelter

Graces on me do confer

Save me, you my rock and fortress

Come to me, and do me bless

Guide me, keep me, from the trap set

By enemy, still foiled yet

With your help, you are my strength here

I worship with godly fear

 

Psalm 30 v.10-12

You for me my mourning have turned

Into dancing, I had yearned

And prayed to you, your help needed

From troubles you did me lead

So my sackcloth do I put off

Enemies now, now more scoff

You have girded me with gladness

i shall praise you, you confess

 

Psalm 30 v.10-12

Praise and joy and celebration

Let rise now from each nation

My tongue 'tis my glory, will sing

Unto you my thanks shall bring

Not silent or downcast for e'er

Radiant joys in you we share

I will thank you, I will praise you

You come to my help anew

 

Psalm 28 v.7

The LORD my strength and my shield is

I take courage bold in this

My heart did trust in Him, and I

Am helped, this I not deny

So now my heart great rejoices

Happy now my state it is

And with my song I will sure praise

Grateful anthems to Him raise

 

Psalm 30 v.5

His anger endures a moment

Righteous judgement He has sent

In His favour there is life whole

His name glorify, extol

Weeping for a night may endure

But will not last evermore

For joy shall come in the morning

God's bright beams on us dawning

    The joyfulness in the clip surely leads to spontaneous applause at the end. Let's not be crotchety about applause in church, even if I'm not keen on dancing in church myself! Am I too old for it?! doh.

      Thanks Kat. With joyful themes, I sometimes feel I want to make them even longer! Not a tirade - that's grumbling, etc. But a flowing forth (not waffling!).

      Great O - I could even hear the music as I read it.

            Good write to a wonderful tune. It is a pity that Beethoven never heard it.

              Thanks Gold. I expecting he is hearing it now, though he only 'heard' it in his mind before.
