Tune: St Anne

(\'O God our help in ages past\')

Partly based on Isaiah 65 v.5

Stand not by me in person, be

A distance off from me (2 metres)

Though meaning it physically

Yet not spiritually

We have guidance discerned

Put into practice, our part play

Longing for healing days

Impartial to each one

Is the Lord, and forgiven we

Are, if penitent, see
