*********

Lord, lift heart when downcast

Or my joys seem past

Turn me to your light sure

It shines evermore

Where pains varied linger

May our spirits stir

To trust you anew through

All, not lose our view

 

Our view of you as Lord

With your living word

This our faith in you is

Nought else gives true bliss

Yet not all calm, cosy

Troubles may there be

But with peace abiding

In hearts as we sing

 

Growing in you daily

To your image, see

Through your Spirit working

Help we need does bring

Not a fantasy flight

You are our delight

You our Saviour risen

Not escapism

 

So whate\'er our season

Highs, lows, in each one

May we trust, hold to you

you send grace anew

Where our light burns dimly

Spirit come to be

Comforter, Strengthener

Love on us confer

 

Beams of your light shining

Out of dark us bring

Help us choose your good way

Going on each day

Labouring through thick, thin

Your Spirit within

Hearts open unto you

With your power endue
