Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
Hebrews 5 v.13-14
********
For everyone that uses milk
Is not of mature ilk
But in the word of righteousness (the Scriptures)
They are babes, they confess
But solid food belongs to those
Who of full age, they chose
By reason of use and practice
Great treasures not to miss
They have their senses exercised
To discern unsurmised
Both good and evil, so the way
They prosper in each day

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8686 metre. A little one today, as I felt to focus on just two verses of Scripture. It's true physically and spiritually - we need food and drink to grow in both. In what we sense - hearing, seeing, tasting, touching, smelling - we don't just surmise, but discern. I feel it can apply particularly to spiritual seeing and hearing, and to a lesser extent to spiritual touching, tasting, and smelling.

Clever write this one Orchi, very meaningful.
Thanks Gold.
Any mention of The New Jerusalem gives me goosepimples ~ The OLD is aweinspiring ~ but the NEW will demand all our Spiritual sensibility ~ Loved the POEM ~ we all need to feed Spiritually to grow spiritually ! Prayer ~ Bible Study ~ attendance at The Lord's Table (Communion) and just as important FELLOWSHIP ~ AMEN ~ Thanks for lifting us to GLORY on a THURSDAY ~ Please check my FLOWERS ~ Brother BRIAN
Thanks Brian.
Orchi,
A beautiful write! So applicable to everyone! Glorious!
