I had chosen the tune "<A HREF="https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/246" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/246">Joys are flowing like a river</A>" for Psalm 45 for the reasons given in that Psalm. Since this Psalm is also "Upon the water-lillies", I tried to use the same tune for this Psalm, but it did not work. </div> <div> I searched for a tune that would go with "water-lillies" and also work for both Psalm 45 and this Psalm, and I tried the lively beautiful tune "<A HREF="https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/nt/788" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/nt/788">When thou wakest in the morning</A>". This worked for both at first, but I found it is too complex for a long psalm like Psalm 69. </div> <div> I tried <A HREF="https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/635" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/635">"Let us contemplate the grape vine"</A>, which seemed to work for both. But when I would try to sing Ps 69 from memory using that tune, I kept falling into the simpler tune, <A HREF="https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/460b" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/460b">Jesus, I my cross have taken (Alternate Tune)</A>.  Now I am experimenting with the current tune. If this tune works I will try to convert Psalm 45 to use this tune.</div> <bR> <div> Thus for the second time we have a Psalm entitled "upon the lilies." In the forty-fifth they were golden lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh, and blooming in the fair gardens which skirt the ivory palaces: in this we have the lily among thorns, the lily of the valley, fair and beautiful, blooming in the garden of Gethsemane. - C.
