Tune: Unde Et Memores
(\'And now O Father, mindful of the love\')
********
Lord, I come to you, I have none between
Me and you, no other Advocate seen
Except for Jesus Christ, your only Son
He ever lives, the all-atoning one
My great high priest, presenting God to man
And man to God, as only He true can
There but for the grace of God do I go
I lost without you, if I you not know
But you have known me first, and me have loved
And in your mercy me to you encoved* (*New Covenant)
O help me, help us all, evangelise
That all know you, and press to the high prize
Not to forget your Spirit in our hearts
Our central essence, and too fill all parts
Help us to give ourselves in service, so
We and others in you shall surely grow
Your children shall be, sons and daughters fair
In blessings of eternal life may share
And too our minds renewed, and we transformed
More into your image, by your love warmed
Showing, sharing your gospel as we can
Unto each person, each child, woman, man
That they your salvation will sure receive
As on the name of your Son they believe
Your promise not to leave us, nor depart
To be with us to the end, as at start
Help us seek your will and your kingdom first
To meet the needs of man\'s spiritual thirst
Water of life, bread of life, \'tis yourself
In you shall each find their complete soul\'s health
