It is Election Day in Canada
Ps.113:1-4
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord!
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth and forevermore!
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down
The Lord’s name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations,
His glory above the heavens...
Ps.112:1&7
Praise[a] the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments...
He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
Ps.111:1-4&10
Praise[a] the Lord!
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great,
Studied by all who have pleasure in them.
3 His work is honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion...
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.
Breaking of day is brief; soon heaven's blushing grandeur pales
To workaday backdrops; where duty's common demands press
With weighted musts/mists of creature care and Future's un-blazed trails
Compelling us not to proceed without God's promises
The theater of dawn rings, rife with birdsong-orchestras
Praise He who cups and overflows the fountain of today
No matter what befalls Our God is worthy of applause
He is above all nations; nothing can His will dismay
...then do not be afraid because the Lord is on His throne
His goodness and mercy sustain all who call on His name
From rise to set of sun, pray, we will make His praises known
And love each other well till we return from whence we came
Time's turn of leaf is brief where breaking of day-to-day tolls
Eternity is chief; let's set our minds on things above
While living here below, let's trust the Saviour of our souls
For all we do not know, then treat our fellowman with love
...for break of day is brief; time's turn of leaf soon filled and stilled
Eternity is chief; not this world's fleeting, noisy roar
The works of God are great; seek His pleasure and be fulfilled
His everlasting righteousness endures forevermore
