Tune: St Denio
('Immortal, invisible, God only wise')
********
You, Lord, the true wise one, and Christ be your Son
We need spiritual understanding all
For things of God cannot by mere human lot
Be known, but discovered, by you uncovered
Reveal to us your ways through our earthly days
Your Spirit empower, reside every hour
In hearts meek and lowly, from sins now set free
By your Son's redemption, reaches to each one
Living in your light clear, pursuing things here
Which pleasing to you be, and hearts constantly
In tune with you Lord, keep us, we be your sheep
Good Shepherd ne'er us leave, in you we believe
Though you great, glorious, yet you tend to us
Our needs we to you bring, we worship and sing
Help us your salvation proclaim, each nation
Hear good news, the gospel, go forth, others tell

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 11.11.11.11. metre. When writing it, I broke it down into 6.5. each line, so it rhymes within each line, rather than at the end of each line. The original seems to rhyme within each line AND at the end of each line.

Thanks B&A. Yes, Fido can be fierce, like some Old Testament prophets, but they'll let him in!
Great one Steve, love the different rhyme scheme!
Thanks Christina. The hymn-writer did one better - rhyming within the lines, and at the end of the lines!
