Tuneful Times

orchidee



Tune: Doncaster

('Put thou thy trust in God')

********

What tune within heart, mind

Can I use, what song find?

To praise my God, He Lord of all

Will hear me when I call

 

Help us here persevere

E'en when trials are severe

Holding to you, give grace we need

Still us your people feed

 

Renew where dim the light

Come, enliven our sight

To continue, simplicity

To know what your will be

 

The love within our heart

You placed there from the start

Our love to you, who loved us first

For you we hunger, thirst

    Not sure about the last line of the first stanza unless the answer he gives when I call is no.

      Thanks Gold. I tend to rhyme - 'all', 'call', 'not fall', etc. I understand what you mean.
