Tune: Thaxted
('Jerusalem the golden')
*******
Psalm 103 v.20
Bless the LORD, you His angels
Of Him wonders each tells
You excel in strength mighty
Do His commandments free[ly]
You hearken to His voice sure
The voice of His word pure
Delighting in His presence
His glories you do sense
Psalm 104 v.24
O LORD, how manifold be
Your works, we each one see
In wisdom have you all made
Each one for them plans laid
The earth of your riches full
Is, unto you we call
You LORD, the great Creator
How fine your treasure-store
Psalm 105 v.4-5
Seek the LORD, and His strength sure
Seek His face evermore
Remember His works marvellous
That He has done for us
His wonders, judgements, rulings
His salvation He brings
To all who will accept here
His Son as Saviour dear
Psalm 103 v.12-13
As far as east is from west
He has granted us rest
Has our sins removed from us
Forgiven, we profess
That like a father's sparings
He us His mercy brings
We pitied, as His children
Do trust Him, fear Him then
Psalm 103 v.14
We dust, dust, and like worms are
He God greater by far
Yet He has made and us known
And blessings us has shown
He knows our frame, we little
Oft weak, poor, and brittle
But He cares, and us His sheep
In His fold does us keep
Psalm 103 v.15-17
Mankind, days like fleeting grass
When o'er us wind does pass
As flowers of field flourish
After a time perish
So mankind, temporary
On earth his state it be
But the LORD, He His mercy
'Tis everlasting, see

Orchidee, after reading all your poems here on MPS, I realized that I don't have to go to church anymore!
Thanks Fred. Erm, don't let me put you off going Fred. It depends how we find particular churches I suppose. Can range from full of life, to dull and dreary, and everything in between! I may have written a hymn book by now, but I haven't written whole Services!
