Perseveringly Progressing

orchidee



Tune: Woodlands

('Tell out my soul')

********

Great God of all, come to our help we pray

Give strength and health for matters of each day

By your Spirit within us be our guide

So trusting you, may we in you confide

 

To show of Christ to each we encounter

Evangelise some way, that their hearts stir

To seek to know, or seek to grow in you

The image of your Son, holy and true

 

Lead us on, high and low, to journey's end

Always the grace of your Spirit us send

We temples of His dove-like presence sweet

Humbly adoring, we fall at your feet

 

Your presence ever with us and within

Your Spirit abides, you forgive our sin

Thus your servants, enabled by your power

Follow you on life's path through every hour

 

Lord you know, see, expressions of all hearts

Nothing hidden from you, you know all parts

Help us to know your will, what shall you please

You who do save us, blessings sure are these

 

Give to us light where we dark, heavy be

Grant us what we need to your way clear see

Holding to you, for you to us e'er hold

Until in glory all your ways [are] full told

    This is a very well constructed hymn poem Orchidee.... it looks great on the page and it seems to flow well when I run through it in my head..... Neville

      Thanks Neville. I may have called it 'Progressing Perseveringly' but I think I did a poem of that title already.

        tis easy to forget.... I once wrote one called You will never forget me ten times and I cant remember any of them or who they were about....
