Tune: St Timothy
('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')
*******
Psalm 125 v.1
They that in the Lord God do trust
Though they but small and dust
Yet they as Mount Zion shall be
Abides eternally
Psalm 124 v.7
Our soul is escaped as a bird
From a snare, the Lord heard
Us, came to us, the snare did break
He helped for His name's sake
Psalm 126 v.1
When the Lord our captivity
Did turn, we were set free
Seemed like a dream, and mystical
Trusting, we shall not fall
Psalm 128 v.1
Blessed each one that does the Lord fear
Believing He is near
And in His ways they ever walk
Of Him too they do talk
Psalm 126 v.3
The Lord for us great things has done
Has sent His only Son
Blessings for body, spirit, soul
In Him we glad, made whole

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. Common Metre (CM). Extracts from some of Psalms 120 - 134, called 'Songs of Ascents'. When the people went up (ascended) Mount Zion to worship in the Temple there, they sang these songs..

Thanks Gary. Echoes of Psalm 1 there in your comment!
THANKS STEVE ~ Another uplifting TUNE and selections from the Psalms. When I used to LEAD Parties of Young People up SNOWDEN (N WALES over 1000 meters !) we always used to sing CWM RHONDA at the Summit ~ first verse in Welsh ~ and everyone would join in ! Essex is a bit flat for me ! BRIAN
Thanks Brian.
