A Gem Of Grace

orchidee



Tune: Capetown

('Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost')

*******

Here communing, times of quiet

Lord, you not from us depart

Our hearts, lives, sanctuary

There your dwelling be

 

Yet not quiet passivity

But to serve you actively

Your Spirit us empower

For needs of each hour

 

So to be doing, faith be

Shown truly in action, see

Words alone be not complete

Will not needs full meet

 

Or in loud praise, exulting

Worship to our Lord and King

What[ever] our rhythm, what[ever] our tone

Honour him alone

 

Offer your praise uniquely

None like you can ever be

Like you perfectly, for grace

[Has] Multi-coloured face
