Holistic Heart-Spring

Tune: Serenity

(\'Immortal love, for ever full\')

Based on a Collect {Formal Prayer} and 1 Peter 4 v.7-10

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

O Lord, our hearts they restless be

\'Til rested sure in thee

In you, our Creator, and we

Your creatures we so be

 

Help us offer ourselves to you

You strengthen us, renew

Whate\'er we have, \'tis what you give

Each breath you give, we live

 

Take us, our gifts, skills and talents

That we and others sense

Your presence in and through us by

Your Spirit within, [and] nigh

 

The aim of man, to glorify

You, Lord God, we ally

Ourselves to you, what we speak, do

May it e\'er honour you

 

Be sober, watching unto prayer

In charity, love, share

Be hospitable and grudge not

So fair shall be your lot

 

Be good stewards, your gifts do use

To spread gospel, good news

The grace of God, it manifold

Expressed in what done, told
