Standing Still

orchidee



Tune: Southwell

('Lord Jesus, think on me')

1 Samuel 12 v.7

**********

Samuel the prophet said

To people that he led

Stand still, that I may here reason

With you for a season

 

Reason with you before

The Lord of His deeds sure

Which He has done in times past, He

Helped you ancestors, see

 

Brought them out of the land

Of Egypt by His hand* (*Spirit)

And He will too guide you this day

Reveal to you His way

 

In busyness of life

Activity and strife

Help us, Lord, to stand still to hear

Your messages plain, clear

 

So strengthened in your way

Trusting in you, our stay

Communing with you in spirit

Hearts, minds, lives by you lit
