Tune: St Gregory
(one tune to 'With glorious clouds encompassed round')
Psalm 16 v.5-11 part
*********
The LORD is my portion, and He
My inheritance be
My lot He does uphold, and gives
His help to me, He lives
The lines are fallen unto me
In pleasant places, see
Yes, I have goodly heritage
He gives confidence, courage
I have set the LORD here before
Me, He my focus sure
He at my right hand, and I shall
Not be moved, but fare well
Therefore my heart is glad, and my
Glory, my tongue hereby
Rejoices, and my flesh also
Shall rest in hope, I know
For you will not leave here my soul
In hell, but will make whole
Nor will allow your Holy One
To see corruption done
You will the path of life show me
In your presence there be
Fullness of joy, and pleasures e'er
At your right hand are there

Thanks Gold.
Thanks STEVE ~ You have ameliorated my FRIDAY ! Love Charles W ~ a perfect poem twinned with a perfect tune.. Love the shades of the Minor Key in this one ~ it gives it attitude ! We are back to the Psalms for inspiration ~ Psalm 16 v 11 "Thou wilt show me the path of LIFE ~ In Thy presence is fullness of JOY ~ At Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore" In some of the Churches I preach in we must read from The Authorised Version only ~ AMEN Yours Brian & Angela
Thanks B/A, and for the ameli-wotsit!
Keep writing O - Miss Berles is impressed.
Thanks M. You a sheep in green pastures?!

Love V 6. in the AV "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant ~ Yea O have a goodly heritage" Meaningless to anyone under 70 but I love the CADENCE ! Yours B & A
