Tune: Rivaulx
('Father of heaven, whose love profound')
Colossians 2 v.2-3
*********
This be a prayer, that hearts might be
Comforted and encouraged, see
Being knit together in love
Joined by the Spirit, holy dove
And knit together too unto
All the riches that we may view
Of the full assurance it be
Of understanding whole and free
So we have knowledge, we attain
Revealing of mystery we gain
The mystery of God, He is
The Father, Christ His Son, true this
In Christ are hid all the treasures
Of wisdom, knowledge, pure pleasures
Lord, grant us grace, do still us show
More of Christ, so we more Him know

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre. Aiming to unravel, or 'unpack', (an 'in-word' used in talks/sermons) one of Paul's prayers. They are sometimes quite involved, more so if using older versions of Scripture.
