little troublesome, a little terrible.
Return
© Robinson Jeffers
A little too abstract, a little too wise,
It is time for us to kiss the earth again,
It is time to let the leaves rain from the skies,
Let the rich life run to the roots again.
Psalm 68 part 3

Psalm 50
© Isaac Watts
The Lord, the Sovereign, sends his summons forth,
Calls the south nations and awakes the north;

Through distant worlds and regions of the dead:
No more shall atheists mock his long delay;
His vengeance sleeps no more: behold the day!

Now shall my wants be well supplied;
His providence and holy word
Become my safety and my guide.

Their offerings of forbidden blood.

Praise ye the Lord; 'tis good to raise
Our hearts and voices in his praise;

To make this duty our delight.

Demand our noblest songs:
Let his assembled saints unite
Their harmony of tongues.

God and his grace are still the same;
He fills the hungry soul with food,
And feeds the poor with every good.
Psalm 107 part 1

Give thanks to God; he reigns above;
Kind are his thoughts, his name is Love;
His mercy ages past have known,
And ages long to come shall own.
Psalm 104
© Isaac Watts
My soul, thy great Creator praise:
When clothed in his celestial rays,
He in full majesty appears,
And, like a robe, his glory wears.
Praise for Creation and Providence
© Isaac Watts
I sing the mighty power of God,
that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
and built the lofty skies.
Hymn 74
© Isaac Watts
We are a garden walled around,
Chosen and made peculiar ground;
A little spot enclosed by grace
Out of the world's wide wilderness.
