Reasons to Praise

[Continuing the idea of a hymn on Sundays]
Wholehearted praise, through all my days;
reflective gaze, on all your ways:
creation beautiful I see,
and purchased full salvation free.
Your grace has taught of freedom bought –
your peace we sought, by mercy caught;
taste help each day, delight to stay,
to fellowship, and walk your way.
Rejoice, content for you are near,
from condemnation cleansed and clear,
pardoned, no judgement need to fear,
upheld, preserved to persevere.
From hearts made wise, our songs arise,
and praises swell, of him to tell
who is the universe’s King,
kind Sovereign over everything.
‘I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing to your name, O Most High.’ Psalm 9:1,2
Tune: LM eg Morning Hymn by F H Barhelemon (tune of ‘Awake, my soul, and with the sun’ )
or Duke Street by J Hatton (tune of 'Fight the good fight') or tunes mentioned on last Sunday’s hymn

So sorry I was late getting
So sorry I was late getting to this, Rhiannon. One of those weeks, unfortunately But I'm here now, and I'm glad I am. I was a bit lost with the tune until you mentioned 'Fight the Good Fight', and then I was up and running. Fits it perfectly, and particularly effective - the assonance in the third stanza.

Hi Rhiannon
Hi Rhiannon
I like preserved to perservere. A tongue twister, with a meaning.
