All I Need

Tune: Dominus Regit Me

(\'The King of love my Shepherd is\')

Inspired by a painting of a cargo ship

on the sea, by A.R.

*************

As through the sea of life we go

May we your presence, Lord, know

Through storm and calm, and wind and wave

You the only one, does save

 

Grant to us, Lord, all we need, for

You do provide for us sure

Your grace is multi-faceted

Your people as your sheep e\'er lead

 

Gifts and skills help us to employ

May none them fade or destroy

As a cargo ship in life\'s sea

Laden with precious goods we be

 

For all is given from your hand

To all peoples, every land

Help us to serve, glorify you

And strengthen us daily anew
