Tune: St Peter (Reinagle)
('How sweet the name of Jesus sounds')
********
Help us O Lord, reveal your way
And guide us every day
Inspire us, and your purpose show
That we your way shall go
Where stuck or dull, not much progress
Yet you there still to bless
None useless nor ungifted be
Grace granted e'en to me
Your plans, purposes, for each one
Made sure through Christ your Son
Still loved and saved, sheep in His fold
You do each gently hold
Give wisdom, aid, and all we need
To serve you true indeed
Your Spirit, Comforter, abides
In humble hearts resides
So none are left bereft, for you
Come, visit us anew
And e'en stay in souls washed from sin
Your presence pure within
O light a light, kindle a flame
That brings you honour, fame
Stir my sometimes small love for you
For your sake act and do
That all may be to glorify
You, hear my prayer, my cry
Glory of yours ne'er selfish, proud
With perfection endowed
Thus more of you, and less of me
May each person here see
For to you be praise evermore
We worship and adore

Amen.
Thanks Gold.
It that William - did you see him yesterday? Who is Waymond? Was he there as well?
Yes, who is this Will? Yep, could have been the Conqueror guy - or Conkeror. Was Waymond his brother?
Waymond Conkeror - yup - that's him - he led the troops who fought with conkers on string - guess that's where he got his name from.
It's all falling into place now.
Thank you Orchidee.
You certainly know how to lift spirits with your beautiful words.
Keep writing
