Tune: Diademata
('Crown Him with many crowns')
********
Psalm 139 v.1-4
1. Lord you have known, searched me
There no thing you not see
When I sit, stand, walk, you know all
Whether day, night, you call
You compass our path round
Praises to you redound
And too our laying down, you know
All our ways, words, 'tis so
Psalm 139 v.17-18
2. How precious be your thoughts
To me, of all good sorts
They are, and great he sum they be
We cannot total, see
If I should count them, they
More than sand's grains I say
And when I wake from restful sleep
You sill with me, your sheep
Psalm 145 v.9-11
3. The Lord, He good to all
Trusting Him, we not fall
His tender mercies o'er all things
His works Him honour brings
For they shall all praise you
Your saints shall bless you too
Of your glory, power, they speak
And do your kingdom seek
Psalm 147 v.1
4. Praise the Lord, it is good
That all folks surely should
Praise Him in song and melody
Hearts rejoicing, set free
To praise Him is pleasant
Comely, and He has sent
His Spirit to us, to empower
Our worship every hour
Psalm 149 v.4
5. For the Lord takes pleasure
In His people, measure
Of blessings rich with them He shares
Knowing our toils and cares
He will the meek espy
And them will beautify
With salvation, redeeming sure
They His for evermore
Psalm 146 v.10
6. The Lord shall reign for e'er
In Him you shall well fare
Even 'tis your God, O Zion
He the Lamb and Lion
To all generations
And over all nations
he shall rule o'er all lands, ne'er fail
His Lordship all shall hail
Psalm 144 v.9-10
7. I will sing a new song
To you Lord, day, night long
With psaltery and instrument
Of ten strings, no relent
Will sing praises to you
You save me, me renew
And deliver from troubles sore
You my Lord evermore
Psalm 150
8. Praise Him in sanctuary
Let earth and heaven agree
All that has breath here join in to
Sing His praises anew
His mighty acts recall
His power and love tell all
Sweet music make, He excellent
His praise our good intent

Can't sing but I can march in a tin helmet if that helps - super writing
Thanks M. lol.
Trouble is there's not much room in a tin helmet.
No kidding, you should get those published. I kept a book with me by Sarah Young titled "Jesus Calling". Yours are as good, and even better.
Now I just get another daily reading and guide.
Thanks M& M. I 've looked into it a couple of times - seems very expensive publishing.
How about ebook.
Another very good 'un Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
