Tune: Hyrfrydol
('Alleluia, sing to Jesus')
**********
Lord, my footsteps, guide me and keep
In your fold, one of your sheep
You have more sheep which to gather
To know you and the Father
Fill us with your Spirit's power
To evangelise each hour
Taking opportunities bold
Grant our love may not grow cold
Telling of a Saviour's mercy
That was shown to save e'en me
How forgiveness, life eternal
Offered to who hear your call
To turn from sin, from self to you
Changed, transformed, in you anew
Showing, sharing, bearing image
Of the Son, our heritage
So there joy more sure in heaven
Over one who repents then
More joy than ninety-nine persons
Though they be your daughters, sons
So as prodigal returning
Treated as a lord and king
By your love, mercy unfailing
In your kingdom they do sing
Here a part for church to serve you
All included, not a few
Gifts and graces giv'n for service
Pointing out your way, 'tis this
That a welcome true awaits each
Who turn to the Lord, beseech
Him to forgive, cleanse, accepting
The salvation He does bring

I was listening to the news last night and Dublin Police declared a state of emergency when a single engined Cessna light aircraft crashed into a church graveyard narrowly missing the spire. So far police have recovered 72 bodies from the crash site.
Oh dear. On another angle, I won't get started on: 'Notre Dame fire - God's judgement?'

Thanks A&B. Nope, not been to Scarborough. It's the annual outing to the Co-op for me! But that store's too expensive. Milk 40p more than another shop - not paying that. They're laughing with their high prices - setting up on new housing estate, no other shops nearby.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
