Tune: Guiting Power
('Christ triumphant, ever reigning')
********
Songs and praises everlasting
Bring to Christ your King
Melodies pleasant now raising
Above everything
He the Lord for evermore
He reigns for sure
We Him adore
Scriptures they to us are written
All contained therein
We may grow so, ever learning
With thoughts discerning
Led by His Spirit to know
His truth, 'tis so
Grace here bestow[ed]
Lifting hearts and hands and voices
We worship in this
Trusting to His presence daily
To continual be
With us, in us, all around
The solid ground
In Christ we [are] found
All shall come to obey your rule
None shall doubt or stall
But you shall show yourself as Lord
True, it be your Word
And each enemy submit
In every whit
'Tis meet and fit

Nice one O
Thanks Michael. The chorus or refrain bit got a bit muddled (last two lines of each verse are the same in the clip). Not the easiest metre!
Thanks STEVE for sharing a lovely video ~ and a Perfect Poem ! I love ALED & Songs of Praise ~ Like Easter it is a moveable Feast and I always have to check the RT foir the starting time !
