Psalm 33 v.1

Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous

Lift hearts and hands to bless

For praise is comely, beautiful

To Him, the LORD of all

 

psalm 33 v.2

Praise the LORD with harp tuned in well

And all His wonders tell

Bring psaltery and instruments

Worship be your intents

 

Psalm 34 v.3

O magnify the LORD with me

And show how great He be

Let us together Him exalt

He perfect, without fault

 

Psalm 34 v.5

In Him true find your consoling

To Him your songs now sing

Look to Him and enlightened be

Faces shine radiantly

 

Psalm 34 v.18

The LORD nigh those fo broken heart

He will come, heal each part

And save such as do be contrite

In spirit, and seek [Him] right

 

Psalm 36 v.7

How excellent O God, it be

Your lovingkindness, see

Therefore children of men do trust

Under your wings, though [we are] dust

 

Psalm 36 v.10

O continue lovingkindness

To they that know you, bless

And to those in heart upright

Be righteousness and light

          do we put our hands together when we pray?

          • orchidee

            Thanks Pauly. Well - can do, but don't have to. 'Altogether now - hands together, eyes closed' is from primary school days!

              "Seated at my Organ one Day !"

              Thanks STEVE ~ Love Richmond a very inspiring tune with a variety of hymns ! Love the poem "Pearls from the Psalms !" Thanksgiving is an awesome word and it always has spiritual connotations even in the USA ! I atended a Thanksgiving Meal in a Home in Atlanta Georgia 3 years ago and we gave thanks between every course ~ AMEN ! Thanks for caring ~ BRIAN !
