On Through The Valley

Tune: St Hugh

(\'Lord teach us how to pray aright\')

*********

In your Communion we be

Met in spirit, soul, see

Though we not physically partake

Yet we join for your sake

 

You still give bread, wine spiritual

Though we are not met all

In person round your table here

You in our hearts appear

 

Maintaining love and friendship, care

You give us grace to bear

Till day comes soon, we pray, we meet

To worship at your feet

 

Give help and aid to solitary

Where we seem unfriendly

But for everyone\'s good it be

May we be wise, agree

 

To distance self in person, though

Still human kindness know

Our pain, hurt, feelings ne\'er as deep

As you did toil and weep

 

In desert and Gethsemane

And on to Calvary

Then resurrection, sinner\'s Friend

Your mercies us defend
