Progressing Possibilities

orchidee



Tune: St Timothy

('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')

**********

Look, Lord upon us, shine your face

Help us discern your grace

And your sure mercies still to trace

Displayed to every race

 

Whether in joy or pain we be

May we constructively

Look to you, as you look to us

Through your Son, He Jesus

 

Show us your light where way seems dark

Or dim or gloom or stark

To progress in your way, your plan

For each child, woman, man

 

You come to us, revive, restore

We of ourselves be poor

But riches true in you are found

Praises to you redound

 

Guide us, O Lord, where confused we

And unsettled may be

Your life, your love, still do reveal

To follow, do your will

 

None worthless nor excluded, you

Have plan for each, and do

Work in us, and we here work out

Your plan, not fear nor doubt

    Lead kindly Light ~ lead Thou ME on
