Tune: Deus Tuorum Militum
('Awake, awake, fling off the night')
**********
Help us Lord still to know your ways
And follow you through all our days
To know your will, what best shall be
And what be most profit here see
What shall be fruitful, productive
That tends to life, helps others live
More in your way, brings you glory
Living for you, expressions free
Where we stuck in old ways, so guide
That we do in new ways confide
So find the path ahead, change may
Enlighten methods dull and grey
Give wisdom which we need always
To heed, listen, good advice pays
And benefits us, worldly-wise
We would not be, it a false guise
You e'er the light, you will direct
Us in your paths with no deflect
Clearly each step ahead us show
So we your purposes shall know
And too through daily life, each page
Whate'er be our spiritual age
We grow in Christ through every thing
Hearts loving, humble to Him sing

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8.8.8. metre. The clip has another hymn title with the same name. It seems the tune is alternatively called Grenoble.

Good one once more Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
I dunno why but I Like the term Grenoble... and shall investigate in due course.... thank you....
Thanks N. Grenoble in S.E France. Maybe that's where the tune originated. There might be a tune named Hastings - very mournful, dour, and distressing it will be, cos I mucked it all up in 1066. lol. I'm not a music buff really.
Dash it.. I knew that.. I was reading it wrong....
