Tune: Monks Gate
('He who would valiant be')
*******
Psalm 40 v.1-2
I did patiently wait
Here for the LORD, great
Was His help unto me
He looked, did me see
And He did hear my cry
To me He did draw night
Brought me from horror pit
Upon rock I sit
Psalm 40 v.5
Many, O LORD God, they be
Your wonders I see
The works which you have done
They be fine, each one
Your thoughts that are toward
Us, we cannot, our LORD
Count them, if we did try
We cannot descry (describe them all)
Psalm 41 v.10-11
Show, LORD, to me mercy
Raise me, and me free
From my troubles, so be
I quench enemy
Which taunt me, seek my ill
And wish plans to fulfil
They shall not o'ercome me
For you my LORD be
Psalm 42 v.5
Why you cast down, my soul?
The LORD makes you whole
Why disquieted within?
Hope in God herein
For you shall yet Him praise
He shall help you, upraise
His countenance on you
Be shown you anew
Psalm 43 v.3
Send out your truth and light
Dispelling the night
Let them lead me unto
Your holy hill view
And to your dwelling place
Where we your merits trace
Tabernacles of grace
For all of each race

Thanks STEVE ~ Your Psalm based ODES are always a Blessing to me ! I have paraphrased PSALM £ today as promised ~ and dedicated it to you in appreciation of you daily dose of Spiritual "Syrup of Figs" to keep us HOLY ! Love the HYMN always a fave at my School Assemblies
We had a parody .................... !
HE Would valiant be
Gainst all disaster
Now he lies in Ward "C"
Both legs in PLASTER !
O to be a carefree Schoolboy again
Minding my speak & speaking my mind
Your BROTHER BRIAN ~ AMEN
Thanks Brian. We had the original hymn during Communion today. Bit strange. It sort of shattered the peace a bit. Good tune though!
