Patient Progress

Tune: Albano

(\'Once, only once, and once for all\')

Look on us Lord, and patience give

Help us unto you live

Your Spirit\'s power, every hour

We pray you us endower

 

Provide for us, our daily bread

By you we all are fed

Food for our bodies, spirits, souls

Safe in our Shepherd\'s fold

 

Rest, hasty heart, still worried, hear

Know that your Lord is near

\'Til season of your troubles past

Shall not for ever last

 

But here we know our suffering

None to yours comparing

Yet you give strength along the way

For what we face each day

 

Give grace where we tempted to sin

And evil thoughts begin

Help us your will to know and do

What will glorify you

 

None left bereft, you Comforter

Your Spirit does us stir

Gives strength and solace, meets our needs

To our Father He pleads

 

Pleads that we grow in Christ the Son

The risen holy one

Where distractions, fears may abound

Help us hear your voice sound

 

It shall lead on, your still, small voice

And cause us to rejoice

Again in you, our living Lord

The true, eternal Word
