Progressing Paces

Tune: Gott Ein Vater

(\'one tune to \'Faithful vigil ended\')

********

If hearts here be heavy

Come, Lord, look and see

Grant us your reviving

So we you shall sing

 

Cloudy, dull, or dour

If this be our hour

Send us rays of sunshine

Gleams of light divine

 

Rain to here refresh land

Sent by your good hand

Sustain us in each thing

Life to us does bring

 

Leave us not, continue

You are the Way true

Show us your plans for each

Of us, and us teach

 

Whate\'er age physical [we may be]

Or age spiritual [we may be]

Help us flee distraction

We your daughters, sons

 

Salvation for all here

\'Til Christ does appear

On earth once again to

All things sure make new
