Praise the Lord, oh my Soul!

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation;


O my soul, praise Him for He is thy health and salvation.


All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Join me in glad adoration!


Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth.


Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth.

Now we have seen how all our longings have been
Granted in what He ordained!


- adapted from a poem by Joachim Neander

As the sister of the "FD" who has not posted a comment on this blog for a considerable period, I felt the duty devolved upon me to leave an appropriate congratulation and my hope for the greatest of domestic felicity for the newly engaged.
So, in the words of my good friend Mr. B., "I have great pleasure in thinking you will be so happily settled. I have not a doubt of your doing very well together. Your tempers are by no means unlike. You are each of you so complying, that nothing will ever be resolved on; so easy, that every servant will cheat you; and so generous, that you will always exceed your income."
With love and prayers,
RJ

Regrettably, it has been some time since I have troubled to speak with you. However, since I do not feel that I could improve upon my father, Mr. Bennet's, expressions, I shall just say congratulations and agree heartily with Mr. B.
