Tune: Herongate
(\'It is a thing most wonderful\')
*******
Lord, help me trust, go on with you
You do strengthen and me renew
If easy be when comforted
Or hard if seems your presence hid
Give grace in trial, in suffering
Your good plan and your purpose bring
Whether afflicted body, soul
Or spirit, you do make us whole
Forgive where we dull, dreary be
Come to us, from each bondage free
And cleanse from sin, and hear each prayer
As in community we share
Not go alone, independent
For you to us your Son have sent
To join us all in unity
And showing each what your way be
We bear no fruit if unattached
If from the vine we be detached
But if we as branches remain
In Him, much fruit for Him we gain
