Tune: Hereford
('O thou who camest from above')
**********
Inspire me, Lord, where dull or dry
I look to you, to you I cry
Revive me, heal me, bring me light
Refresh me, I in you delight
Show your ways, plan, what be your hand
Your guide your people in each land
Help me the fallow ground to turn
Ignite flame in me, and bright burh
And too your Spirit, waters flow
From well within me, may I know
Your presence close, and e'en within
To guard and bless and cleanse from sin
Whate'er the season help me look
Unto you, you not me forsook
Not mere resolve of man it be
But leading of your Spirit, see
I be not aimless, not forgot
You have for me a pleasant lot
And plans, purposed for us all
Help us to seek you, on you call
This from my heart and mind I pray
Guide us all in your light of day
Leaving the darkness, no profit
But you the way through life have lit
Taking measure of faith, each one
Given to us by you, the Son
To do our part, here none worthless
In your love and grace each you bless

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. format. One is a 'series' of 'Poems written over 1,000 poems ago', but I don't have dates for them. Could be over 1,000 years too, as I'm very old, so I say, about 5 million years old!

I am sure this is a fine hymn poem Mr. O .. and suitable for hers as well ..
Yours sincerely,
Me 🙂
Thanks N. Now the sort of hymns we had at KP and my wedding were:
'Fight the good fight'.
'Through the night of doubt and sorrow'.
'40 days and 40 nights' - that Lent hymn. In this case, 40 times of gloom and doom on honeymoon! lol.
Count me in Orchi. 😉
Thanks AP. Note my wedding hymns? So I say! lol.
Did KP sing those hymns? Or you? Or...a duet? 😁
Lol.
Beautiful Orchi,
Thanks Blue.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
