CH4 449 REJOICE THE LORD IS KING – Tune Darwall’s 148th
Played by Catriona Lachlan At the West Kirk of Calder
Rejoice the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks and sing,
and triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart! lift up your voice!
Rejoice! again I say, rejoice!
His kingdom cannot fail;
he rules o'er earth and heaven;
the keys of death and hell
are to our Jesus given.
Lift up your heart! lift up your voice!
Rejoice! again I say, rejoice!
Rejoice in glorious hope!
Jesus the Judge shall come
and take his servants up
to their eternal home:
We soon shall hear the archangel's voice,
the trump of God shall sound:
Lift up your heart! lift up your voice!
Rejoice! again I say, rejoice!

So all you need do is: decide whether you want your display inside or outside
For outside bulbs: Purchase the bulbs of your choice and get them into the ground any time now! (Autumn Planting) . It is as simple as that!
For indoor bulbs: Hyacinths are a great indoor favourite. Take your pot and fill it to 1cm from the top with moist bulb fibre, then push the bulb in gently to half its depth with the pointed end facing upwards. If you have sensitive skin wear gloves as bulbs release tiny, needle-shaped crystals, which can irritate the skin.
*Put your plant pot in a cool, dark place, such as a garage or shed for about ten weeks to allow the roots to grow. Check your bulbs regularly and a little water as required to keep fibre moist.
When shoots appear, and are about 5cm tall bring them inside and place in a light spot to flower. You can also grow Narcissus, in the same way, but bring them out of the dark and put on a sunny windowsill as soon as the buds appear or the stems will become long and lanky.
So whatever bulbs you choose 2021 will look so much brighter
You could even plan some indoor bulbs to be ready for a special Birthday or gift
Please remember to share the fruits of your labour with Nanda in the New Year
