Tune: Taize Chant
(\'O Lord, hear my prayer\')
********
O Lord, hear my prayer
I know you are there
When I call, answer me
You meet all my need
Your sheep do you feed
Come and listen, me see
Grant strength for each day
And show us your way
You see hearts, every part
Inspire our minds true
To contemplate you
We not from your paths start
In meditation
Our soul\'s elation
For we find you are there
Your Spirit, He dwells
Each humble soul tells
That we Christ\'s image bear
And at end of day
In closing, we pray
Guard us whole (wholly), comfort too
Forgive all our sin
Make us clean within
With your blessings endue
Awaking to light
Lord, dawn on our sight
That we on you focus
To live live pleasing
To you in each thing
By your grace prosper us
Evangelising
Your gospel to bring
To those who not know you
Your life, salvation
The proclamation
And your forgiveness too
Comforting Spirit
The way you have lit
So we be witnesses
Committed to you
Share strength, solace too
So others share in bliss

\'Comfort\' can mean in the sense of \'strengthen\'
as well as \'solace\'.
