Tune: St Timothy
(\'O Holy Ghost, thy people bless\')
*******
Lord, help me not to strive to try
On feelings full[y] rely
But trust in faith, where I not see
Your hand there visibly
Where nothing seems to change or grow
Help me, O Lord, to know
You still are working, your plans good
Shall work out as you would
Give strength to persevere and wait
Your time shall not be late
Whate\'er our state be, or those who
We pray for, you know true
Prosper our lives, send refreshing
From prisons releasing
You who full know humanity
Your Son our Saviour be
A world in need, people as sheep
A vale of mourn and weep
Yet too joys, hope, and confidence
When we your presence sense
In all I meet each day, Lord bless
You love none more, nor less
But all your creatures you have made
In wisdom all arrayed
