('Let all the world in every corner sing')
**********
Redemption's dawn, salvation's happy morn
The curtain torn
In Temple, holy place
God shielded from our face
For there He did reside
[In] Holy of Holies bide
But now open, access to God, come free
Through Christ come we [in]
For He the way has opened for us now
And this be how
His life upon the cross
He gave to redeem loss
That sins forgiven be
Cleansed, washed, eternally
Our only hope, come to God through His Son
The holy one
How can I stand before the Lord God, He
Perfect e'er be
Without a trace of night
His being full of light
His nature love and grace
And His mercies we trace
But Christ His Son, our judgement He did take
Does us saints make
No fine elite, but we who sanctified
in Christ confide
Depend on Him alway
Our rock, our strength, our stay
Eternal life He gave
To us, came to us save
And so redeemed, we join His family
He our Lord be

Thanks Laura - Erm, except if it's me singing. It brings horrible discontent to all! heehee.
We’ll be the judge of that...after we’ve heard you sing. No preconceived ideas or judgement by me!
Like St. Thomas...I’ll have to see (in your case hear you) to believe it!😃
Well, here's a sample: 'Meeooowwwooooo!!' That's it! Aww, why some say 'Is that you singing or two cats fighting?!' (bet I sing quite nicely really. lol).
What is bad is that some make no attempt to sing. A written prayer in a church rather defeats the object. It starts 'Lord, I become silent....!' Doh, but we're they're to sing and speak, as well as listen!
I bet you do sing quite nicely!😊
'The hills are alive.....' Just call me Julie (Andrews)! lol.
Amen.
Thanks Gold.
