River Rising

Tune: North Coates

(\'O my Saviour lifted\')

*******

Singing sweetly, simply

May your grace aid me

Spirit, sing from my heart

Illumine each part

 

Whether short or long song

I shall join the throng

Of the heavenly chorus

Which shall you true bless

 

Keep my heart in tune here

To love you more dear

Help me turn where discord

Back to you my Lord

 

Where hearts may be heavy

Come, enlighten, see

Spirit, Comforter sure

You grant us grace more

 

Rivers flow from hearts full

Or trickle where dull

Yet you do us revive

Where we feel deprive[d]

 

Given life eternal

By your mercies all

Give us wisdom, fulfil

In us your good will
