Inspiring Invocation

orchidee



Tune: Ode To Joy

('Joyful, joyful we adore thee')

Based on a Collect = Formal Prayer

Words in italics are the words of the Collect,

as close as I can get to them to the original.

***********

O God, from whom all holy desires

All good counsels, your inspires

And all just works from you proceed

Prayers of your people you heed

Give unto your servants that peace

That shall never end or cease

That peace which the world, it cannot

Give unto us, nor allot

 

Thus may our hearts be to you set

To obey your commands yet

And that we being delivered

From our enemies we feared

So to pass our time here in rest

And quietness, by you blessed

We ask [this] for love of your Son sure

Jesus Christ, who reigns e'ermore.

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. 8.7.8.7. metre. Maybe needing more solemn tune? Though 'modernising' it without changing the meaning of the Collect/Prayer. The title sounds a bit old-fashioned maybe. You 'invoking' there?!

              Thanks B&A. I ruined a song/carol. Some words of it are: 'Joy to the world - not! Cos I started singing!' heehee. You done Joel 2 - prophecy of Pentecost?
