Tune: Day Star
('Christ whose glory fills the skies')
Psalm 24
*******
The earth it e'er be the LORD's
Created all by His words
And all the fullness it be
His and all the world too, see
All that there do dwell therein
Of each country, kith and kin
For He has true it founded
Upon the seas, there He did
Upon the floods established
All was made as he had wished
Who shall ascend to His hill?
Who stand in holy place still?
They that have clean hands, pure heart
Following Him in every part
They that have not uplifted
Soul to secret sin, nor hid
Vanity, or deceit none
But serve Him, the righteous one
They shall receive the blessing
From the LORD, praise to Him bring
And from their God salvation
Those of each people, nation
These are they that seek His face
This the generation, race
Lift up your heads, O you gates
And you lasting doors, your states
Be now open and your king
Of glory, LORD o'er eac hthing
Shall come in, he strong, mighty
In battle, LORD of hosts He

Lift up your heads indeed.
Thanks Gold. Well, I hope your approach to the 'gates of glory' - erm, meaning more immediately, the church gates, not the pearly ones yet - is somewhat glorious today and each week for you!
Orchi,
Glorious...indeed!
Have a grand Sunday!
