Tune: Taize Chant
('O Lord, hear my prayer')
Hebrews 12 v.12-15
***********
Go on in the race
Helped sure by God's grace
Each step His mercies trace
Lift up drooping hands
Strengthen weak knees bands
Believers of all lands
Make straight path for feet
So find His ways sweet
In Him be whole, complete
Lest you lame become
And be hindered some
in sensing God, be numb
But let it be healed
And be with this sealed
Pursue peace, unconcealed
Follow in that way
With all folk today
And be watching and pray
And holiness too
Pursue, keep in view
For 'tis so, this you know
Without holiness
The Lord, we confess
We shall not see, not blest
Look diligently
Lest any fail, see
Of the grace of God free
Lest any root spring
Of bitterness' thing
And troubles to you bring
For it sure may spread
If you are misled
Path of bitterness tread
And so then many
Defiled, corrupt be
Sharing acrimony

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 5.5.6. 5.5.6. metre. Too much repetition is not always my cup of tea. It can depend on what's being repeated - meaningful, positive, etc; or dull, dreary, boring, etc. Taize is a particular form of song. But I'm always repeating them Alleluias!
