Tune: Leoni

('The God of Abraham praise')

Psalm 104 v.24-31

********

O Lord, how manifold

Your works, can all be told?

In your wisdom you made them all

And none shall fall

The earth it is here full

Let each one on you call

Above, below, earth, sky and sea

Your wonders be

 

For here in the great sea

Things numberless there be

Of creatures, they both great and small

you made them all

Therein the ships do go

They the seas pathways know

All wait on you for food daily

You our needs see

 

What you do give, they do

Gather daily anew

You open your hand, providing

And good you bring

But if you hide your face

Uneven be our pace

For then we troubled are, cannot

Say glad our lot

 

When you do take our breath

'Tis our life's end, our death

And so to dust humans return

Humbly we learn

When you your Spirit send

To us you condescend

We are then created, renewed

With life endued

 

The glory of the Lord

Shall endure e'er, His word

Shall never die, but endless be

Eternally

The Lord in His works shall

Rejoice, and all tongues tell

Of Him, the Creator of all

Sends blessings full

      Thanks STEVE ~ A tonic for TUESDAY ~ I'm off to work with a sing in my step ! Love the JEWISHNESS of this Tune and your Poem ~ Good to read at a BAR MITZVAH ! When our Liverpool Choir sang "The God of Abraham Praise" (in our Blue Robes and the Girls with Blue Hats) we did a Barber Shop Shuffle ~ great tune to slow ~dance to ! There is not enough Dance~Worship in our Churches ~ we need a bit more Whoopi Goldberg ! Thanks for caring ~ BRIAN.

        Thanks Brian. Well yes, even if I'm not a dance-type of person. At least in some places, it shows people are alive - if they dance, if they actually move!! "That you coughing during the sermon? - tut, tut" type of thing, I mean! I'm bit old for too energetic dancing though. lol
