A Hymn: When Shall I Provide for Mine Own House Also?
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 Tune of Hymn to Use
“Christians lift your voice in praises
On this memorable day
Sing in gladness let your voices
Sing all over vale and dale
Laud Hosannas, Laud Hosannas
Sea and streams all join the strain”
Lift Your Voice Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir
Note
This is not the tune.
The Composed Song
1. Even now when shall I also
Provideth for mine own house?
Jacob even asks of this word
Even from the man Laban
My heart draweth unto my house
That is in heaven above
2. ‘Tis also good that those of us
Who accept Jesus as our Lord
Will ask of this from ourselves
Do we provide for our house
My heart draweth unto my house
That is in heaven above
3. This world ‘ven is also a field
For everyone who lives there
And if anybody goes to farm
It’s a must to return home
My heart draweth unto my house
That is in heaven above
4. Jesus equates the world to market
An’ no one ‘ll go to m’rket
Without returning to his house
Yea during the evening time
My heart draweth unto my house
That is in heaven above
5. Strangers and even the aliens
Are we even in the world
We ought to also be prepared
Even for our eternal home
My heart draweth unto my house
That is in heaven above
6. Thou who hath faith even in the Christ
Seek thou thiongs which are above
Where Christ hath also siteth down
On the right hand of the God
My heart draweth unto my house
That is in heaven above
