Tune: Hereford
('O thou who camest from above')
**********
In lonely suffering on the tree
The cross, there you did die for me
And too for all mankind to save
For your lost sheep your life you gave
Yet rose again, companion be
And you give us your Spirit free
To heal us, guide us, sanctify
Your presence in us, ever nigh
We weep a while for lonely souls
The poor, needy , your grace [them] extols
Forgive where we in apathy
Fail their distress, troubles to see
Though we may have your peace and rest
You brought us comfort, we are blessed
Saved from our sins, to God restored
Your Father and ours by your word
Guard, keep those at this Christmas-tide
And those needy the year beside
Yu came full human life to share
Lamb of God, sins of all to bear

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre, based on a current personal situation (not a bereavement though). We need not feel bad if our life is mostly 'cosy'' and 'quiet'. It is for some people. Others have less cosy times. We can't know everything about everyone and every situation.
