Gracious Guidance

orchidee



Tune: St Timothy

('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')

********

O lord, grant us here your good grace

For whate'er we may face

Matters of body, spirit, soul

Lead us through, make us whole

 

Help us not to pray all away

But seek in things your way

Trust you will work for good and we

Your guiding hand will see

 

And too to know your Spirit here

Within our heat appears

Life and Person of God He live

In believers, strength gives

 

Before us the path you have trod

Eternal Son of God

Turn sufferings constructively

To work redemptively

 

So that in all things we may grow

And more your image know

Christ formed in us, as we progress

With us your graces bless
