A Hymn: Israelites of God
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
The Composed Song
1. May God’s peace be on you
The Israelites of God
God’s mercy ‘ll rest on you
The new people of God
You are children of the Most High
Redeemed an’ washed by His blood
Thou art special before God
Oh thou spiritua’ Israel
2. May God’s peace be on you
The pursuers of peace
Thou art trodding even on
The paths of righteousness
For even without holiness
No one will see the Lord
Oh Thou spiritual Israel
Pursue God’s holiness
3. May God’s peace be on you
The Israelites of God
Thou who hast repented of
Thine sins and turned from them
Oh thou who hath forsaken
The devil and its works
And you have even cleave to
The Holy One of Jacob
4. May God’s peace be on you
The Israelites of God
Thou who art searching the scriptures
Even morn’ and night
And thou art doing the works
That’s meet for righteousness
By doing these you ‘re ‘ven
Called God’s disciples indeed
5. May God’s peace be on you
The Israelites of God
His mercy and his goodness
Shall ever follow thee
As long as thou shalt abide
Even on the planet earth
May you continue to see
The goodness of the Lord
