Good morning from a sunny but cold College,
We had a special canine guest barking for the first verse of the hymn today - any guesses as to whose dog it was?
Reading:
Hymn 712
1. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord:
unnumbered blessings, give my spirit voice;
tender to me the promise of his word;
in God my Savior shall my heart rejoice.
2. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name:
make known his might, the deeds his arm has done;
his mercy sure, from age to age the same;
his holy name, the Lord, the Mighty One.
3. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of His might:
powers and dominions lay their glory by;
proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight,
the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.
4. Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word:
firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.
Tell out my soul, the greatness of the Lord
to children’s children and for evermore.
Timothy Dudley-Smith (b.1926)
