Tune: Gott Ein Vater
('one tune to 'Faithful vigil ended')
********
If hearts here be heavy
Come, Lord, look and see
Grant us your reviving
So we you shall sing
Cloudy, dull, or dour
If this be our hour
Send us rays of sunshine
Gleams of light divine
Rain to here refresh land
Sent by your good hand
Sustain us in each thing
Life to us does bring
Leave us not, continue
You are the Way true
Show us your plans for each
Of us, and us teach
Whate'er age physical [we may be]
Or age spiritual [we may be]
Help us flee distraction
We your daughters, sons
Salvation for all here
'Til Christ does appear
On earth once again to
All things sure make new

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.5.6.5. metre. If we want to be reminded of rain again?! It's 'spiritual rain', as it were. You all cloudy, dull, and dour? Fido is dour! lol.

Thanks Laura.
THANKS UNCLE STEVE ~ A very nostalgic organ recital ~ stirred many memories of Churches Ancient & Modern ! Love the POEM we all need a bit of Spiritual Revival in these days of Brexit uncertainty. The Younger one is the more gloomy the future looks ! I'll still be on MPS in 2070 (87 years Young !).
Blessings to You & Friend Fido
Yours B & A 💙🧡💙🧡💙
