Communing Contemplation

Tune: Margaret

(\' O love that wilt not let me go\')

********

I kneel, I sense your silent presence

Be still, and know that I am God hence

Moments meet in time and space here

We may draw unto our Lord near

Reflect in holy fear

 

A prayer arises from heart, communes

With its Lord, truly it be in tunes

Of harmony, forgiven, set free

For Christ has lived and died for me

Now endless His life be

 

My heart, mind, being, sanctuary

From it my flow words that do agree

With the Lord, He who reigns eternal

His voice here now, His loving call

May we hear one and all

 

Guard me, keep me, that there no disrupt[ion]

Shall break communion or corrupt

But from this quiet place I move

Help me in life your goodness prove

Ne\'er from your peace remove
