Peace To Progress

orchidee



Tune: Engelberg

('All praise to thee, for thou, O King divine')

Based on a Collect - Formal Prayer

*********

Lord, from whom all holy desires proceed

And too all just counsels, they pure indeed

And all good works too come from you, their source

Ordained in your time, course

 

Grant to your servants here your perfect peace

That it abide in us and sure increase

So we share with the world, whose peace cannot

Compare e'er to our lot

 

So having your peace, grant our hearts be set

To obey your commandments with no fret

And that we pass our time here in your rest

And quietness, by you blessed

 

We ask this for love of your only Son

He Jesus Christ, our Lord, the holy one

To whom be glory now and evermore

E'en to earths utmost shore

      We all need to adapt... some of us more than others... I am of the opinion that adaptation is the key to longevity..... Neville
