Praise Persuals

Tune: Camberwell

(One tune to 'At the name of Jesus')

Psalm 92 v.1-12

********

It is true, a good thing

To give praise and sing

To give thanks, exalting

You our LORD and King

For your name is most High

Yet your presence nigh

So in celebration

We rejoice, each one

 

For your lovingkindness

With it us you bless

And too your faithfulness

Shown to us no less

Every morning, evening

Through each day we bring

Praise and worship to you

You do us renew

 

Play upon instruments

Here God's goodness sense

Join in orchestration

Folk of each nation

For you, LORD, make us glad

We stay no more sad

Works done by your hands are

Great, we triumph share

 

And your thoughts they be deep

You your sheep do keep

Though wicked know them not

Disaster their lot

For when evil does rise

Their plans do capsize

Flourish a while, then gone

Destroyed, remain none

 

Bur you, LORD, e'er remain

Holy, pure, unfeign

You most high for ever

Lose your reign never

Your enemies perish

Vain their evil wish

Scattered by your power

You display, your hour

 

But my strength you exalt

I not stumble, halt

Anointed with fresh oil

Enemies I foil

I shall hear and see sure

When they be no more

[The] Righteous as a strong tree

They shall prosper, see

          A beautiful poem to finish the year, orchi! And we should be grateful for all we have received during the past year, not least the daily uplift from your poems! (No joke, I really mean it!)
