Tune: St Magnus
('The head that once was crowned with thorns')
********
As desert bare, as dull and dry
Lord, attend to our cry
Help us persevere, onwards go
And still your presence know
Your Spirit's touch, your Spirit's power
Come fill us every hour
What things of profit can we do
That are pleasing to you?
Give strength and grace where sad or tired
By yourself we inspired
To follow you, our risen Lord
True be your every word
Progress on in things great and small
We may learn from them all
Grow in your image more each day
You the Life, Truth, and Way
