Peaceful Pursuits

Tune: Melcombe

(\'New every morning is the love\')

*********

Forgive me, Lord, I lose your peace

When frustrations and fears increase

Help me to set, focus on you

The source of eternal peace true

 

Knowing you in life, your purpose

You do show and reveal to us

Whether it be what we would choose

Or what it be, from your best views

 

Things we would do, but now may not

Be able to do, that our lot

Or things new, different paths to take

To serve you well for your name\'s sake

 

Help us your time to wait, so then

It shall be the right time, for when

You so appoint, as in your plan

For every child, woman, and man

 

Show us way through where dark it seems

Give light from your radiant beams

Thus settled, not cause others stress

For your intent is us to bless

 

And peace retained, your comfort gained

Where we may have ourselves stressed, pained

But onwards with your grace now still

To seek to know, do your good will
