Tune: Nicaea
('Holy, Holy, Holy')
*******
Holy Lord, how may we
Approach you, for see
We ourselves not worthy though
Our true state you know
Sent your Son to save such
Those who know do love much
Partake of mercy
And forgiveness free
Every knee to you shall
Bow down, we know well
And too every tongue confess
You are Lord no less
Saved by your grace alone
Only you can atone
For our human need
Good Shepherd, us feed
We shall be satisfied
With all you provide
Tend us still, we pray today
Lead us in your way
Light of life, the path sure
You shall show us e'ermore
Kept by your power
Constantly each hour
Until Rapture day dawn
Bright eternal more
Then for ever we shall be
With you completely
Help us to gather in
Your harvest, an no sin
Bide in your presence
Grant true penitence

Never in all my days have I ever encountered an e'ermore before....Seems I have been missing summat surety.............. Neville
Heehee thanks Neville. I got more for ya: e'er, ne'er, whate'er. I gotta save these syllables ya know, or else the lines don't fit! Evermore is 3 syllables; e'er more is only 2 syllables. Either that, or the 'v' is missing from me keyboard.
A poetry publisher got fussy cos I used poetic 'alway' and not 'always'. I couldn't be fussed with them and said goodbye to them!
very interesting.. thanks..
It may be the same for you, if you use 'pon' instead of 'upon'. Don't they have any poetic style, some people?
We all need Surety, but you start doubting when results keep falling short of efforts - hallelujah
Thanks Suresh.
AN AWESOME HYMN : UNCLE STEVE : Both tune & lyric ! ANGELA here (11:30 am) just enjoyig the Winter Sun (14C) in NZ ! I hear EUROPE is having a heatwave (40 + F = 100 + C !) its all the fault of BREXIT ! Love the POEM also : We all need GODS love & Protection - AMEN
Blessings : To YOU & FIDO (does He lke the HEAT ?)
Love in the SPIRIT : ANGELA XOXOX
Thanks B&A. Yes, it's my fault too - not meeting the PM over coffee at a near-ish church to me! Fido says it's not gone above about 26C in our part of the UK. That's warm enough! We might 'cook' today though.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
