Travelling On Trusting

Tune: Anima Christi

('Soul of my Saviour, sanctify my breast')

********

Psalm 9 v.1-2

I will praise you, O LORD, with my whole heart

Marvellously you helped me, every part

I will show forth all your works wonderful

Will be glad, rejoice, in you I not fall

 

Psalm 9 v.2-3

I will sing praise to your name, O most High

I pray to you, to you for refuge fly

When my enemies are turned back, they shall

Perish at your presence, you for me do well

 

Psalm 8 v.1

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent your name

Worthy of honour and eternal fame

In all the earth your name exalted yet

Your glory above the heavens you set

 

Psalm 7 v.9

Let the wickedness of the wicked end

O do your righteous judgements to us send

But the just do establish strong and clear

You God, righteous, you try hearts and reins* here

(*reins = consciences)

 

Psalm 6 v.9-10

The LORD my supplication He has heard

He will receive my prayer, my humble word

Let all my enemies be vexed and shamed

Though I still you Lord, as my God have named

 

Psalm 5 v.11

Let all that put their trust in you rejoice

And ever shout with joy, lifting one voice

To you, for you defend them, protect sure

Let all that love your name joy e'ermore

 

Psalm 5 v.12

For you, LORD, the righteous you will them bless

Those who serve you and who your name confess

With favour you will compass them as shield

Glories bright and graces to them revealed

    I'm suffering from wicked end wickedness at the moment - plenty of ginger and honey called for and a (very) large box of tissues. Great stuff as always O

      Thanks M. Oh dear, yes, that is 'wicked'. Hope it settles soon.

      I just don't know how you do this, orchidee, to be able to write one of these great hymns day after day!
      Kudos!

        Thanks Fred. I suppose I have to know the hymn tunes to a certain extent, before I start a hymn-poem.
