Tune: Diademata
('Crown Him with many crowns')
Joel 3 v.14-21
********
Multitudes they be in
Valley of decision
The day of the LORD, it be near
He shall to them appear
Within that valley low
His judgements true shall know
And sun and moon shall darkened be
Stars withdraw shining, see
The LORD also shall roar
From Zion, Him implore
For mercy, His voice shall be heard
In Jerusalem stirred
He, and heavens, earth shake
He His people shall take
Shall be their hope, their refuge strong
Their harbour all life long
So shall they know that He
The LORD their God shall be
Dwells in Zion, the holy mount
Of all blessings the fount
Then shal His city be
Jerusalem, holy
No strangers shall pass through the land
He keeps it by His hand
Mountains and hills shall flow
With new wine and milk, so
Too shall rivers of Judah flow
Prosperity shall grow
There a fountain shall be
Shall water the valley
But enemies shall desolate
Be, that their end, their state
But Judah it shall dwell
Safe for ever and tell
Of God's residing with them all
They trust Him and not fall
Jerusalem, city
Capital town it be
They shall dwell secure evermore
Cleansed by the LORD, made pure

Thanks Laura. Ohh happy musical times there!
Oh that I could be restored - great work Orchi.
You restoring that room still, M? Ah yes, you falling to bits yourself?!
Finished the room but now the other half is talking about the smallest bedroom - don't mind that so much as it's used as my dressing room - it's where I keep the armour.
CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS ~ The essence of Congregational Singing ~ Have often sung it in the Royal Albert Hall with full orchestra ! It put me in mind of the CHRIST in GLORY tapestry in Coventry Cathedral ! We are on very very Holy Ground ! Loved the Poem a vision of the "New Jerusalem" where we shall dwell FOREVER WITH THE LORD ~ AMEN ~ Yours BROTHER BRIAN !
Thanks Brian. Heehee quite patriotic of me choosing that clip! Very English - stiff upper lip , tally-ho, and all that rubbish?! lol.
Very good write Orchi, I do hope that there is no water in that flowing wine.
Thanks Gold. I will probably use the milk instead. Wine and milk mixed together? Blleeuurrrghhh!
Thank you Orchidee.
A powerful and vivid poem!
Great write!
Keep writing
