I’m on a lentil kick at the moment. These dhal packs by From Basque With Love are excellent to my taste. The Moroccan one is basically a dhal, very similar in constitution to the Indian version. I’m really only adding sweet potato and spinach. There are a range of rice and lentil mixes available, either direct or from a variety of retailers.

The lyrics:
1
Here we stand the church of the redeemed
Ransomed by the blood that sets us free
From the darkness, brought into the light
Enemies of God now his delight
From the depths called to highest heights
Here we stand, the church of the redeemed
We are his, precious in his sight
Here we stand the church of the redeemed
2
Here we stand contending for the faith
Standing for the truth in every age
We are weak, but Jesus, he is strong
In the Spirit’s power we labour on
And we know victory will be won!
Here we stand contending for the faith
And we know truth will overcome
Here we stand the church of the redeemed
3
Here we stand but here we don’t belong
Journeying toward our lasting home
Now we weep with weary saints who mourn
Telling all the world the hope of dawn
Christ will come, all will be restored!
Here we stand but here we don’t belong
We will wait ready for our Lord
Here we stand the church of the redeemed
Coda
Every heart overflows with praise
When at last we stand before the throne
With our King, evermore we’ll reign
Here we stand the church of the redeemed

Westminster Confession Of Faith – Lord’s Day 37
Chapter 22 – Of Lawful Oaths and Vows (Paragraphs 1-3)
I. A lawful oath is a part of religious worship, wherein upon just occasion, the person swearing solemnly calls God to witness what he asserts or promises; and to judge him according to the truth or falsehood of what he swears.
II. The name of God only is that by which men ought to swear, and therein it is to be used with all holy fear and reverence; therefore to swear vainly or rashly by that glorious and dreadful name, or to swear at all by any other thing, is sinful, and to be abhorred. Yet, as, in matters of weight and moment, an oath is warranted by the Word of God, under the New Testament, as well as under the Old, so a lawful oath, being imposed by lawful authority, in such matters ought to be taken.
III. Whosoever takes an oath ought duly to consider the weightiness of so solemn an act, and therein to avouch nothing but what he is fully persuaded is the truth. Neither may any man bind himself by oath to any thing but what is good and just, and what he believes so to be, and what he is able and resolved to perform. Yet it is a sin to refuse an oath touching anything that is good and just, being imposed by lawful authority.
