Tune: Golden Sheaves
('To thee O Lord our hearts we raise')
***********
Psalm 128 v.1-2
Blessed every one that the Lord fears
Who do sense His presence near
Blessed they that do in His ways walk
And of His works they do talk
They shall eat labour of their hands
What they produce from the lands
Happy shall they be, all be well
God does provide, they shall tell
Psalm 126 v.5-6
They that sow in tears, they shall reap
In joy, and harvest shall keep
In plenitude, share resources
From God's creative sources
They that go forth weeping, bearing
Precious seed, they shall plant, sing
Without doubt return rejoicing
Sheaves, fruits of labours shall bring
Psalm 131 v.1-3
Lord my heart not haughty, and I
Lofty things do not espy
But trusting lowly, child-like heart
I take the simple, low part
Not exercised in things too high
For me, nor great matters nigh
But my soul as a weaned child is
I hope in Him, I am His
Psalm 133 v.1-3
What blessings unity afford
Who are one in you, our Lord
Like ointment, Aaron's anointing
When oil they did to Him bring
Poured on him and hi sons, they priests
In all their service and feasts
Unity too like dew on mount
Whence springs forth blessings true fount
Psalm 125 v.1-2
They who trust in the LORD shall be
As the mount Zion staid, see
Which cannot be removed for e'er
God His presence always there
As mountains round Jerusalem
His people, th LORD round them
Is now, and evermore shall be
Even to eternity

Your area in the clip, Goldfinch?! Spot the dog at 3:50 too.
Yes All Saints is the Oarish Church and I have said intercaesiions in there and helped in some of the Services, the Vicar is a man who I hold a great deal of respect for.
Our Church was in the opening sequence,
Thanks Gold. Do you know the dog at 3 mins 50 seconds into the clip?!
'Fraid not, it is not one of the parishioners of whom I am aware.
A nice reminder, orchidee, that Fall is the time to be grateful for all we have and to say thanks!
Thanks Fred - Autumn as we say in the UK?!
Ah orchi, you can say it any which way you want, I love UK English, open your boot and not your trunk, and watch that lorry pass by, not that truck! 🙂
Being multi-lingual, I am simply happy we can understand each other! My brother in law here, also a dear friend, used to live in Guernsey, and even though he shed a lot of UK expressions, every once in a while he talks very 'un-American'. I just love it!
