Night And Light

orchidee



Tune: Tallis' Evening Hymn

('All praise to thee, my God this night')

*********

Where we be gathered in each night

Help us recall those out of sight

The poor, the weak, vulnerable

You have on them compassion all

 

And too we share in ministry

Your lowly servants may we be

Though we cannot meets needs of all

Help us hear where you to us all

 

So share some light, Lord, it of you

That others see in us Christ true

Not of ourselves the honours take

Give you glory for your name's sake

 

That in each thing done to needy

It shall as if done to Christ be

We pray your light shine through us bright

Give peace to all through every night

        Orchie, this beautiful poem is very up to date considering the terrible refugee situation not only in Greece, but everywhere.

          Unfortunately even with a night light, everything these days is such a haze... but I appreciate the thought Steven... thanks.
