Trusting Thoughts

orchidee



Tune: Buckland

('Loving Shepherd of thy sheep')

Based on a prayer by Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

**********

Father in heaven, when thought

Of you to my mind is brought

When it wakes within my heart

Let it wake peaceful, each part

 

Not wake like a frightened bird

That sound of danger has heard

Not fly about in dismay

But to hear you calm today

 

Let it be like child who wakes

Knowing parents ne'er forsakes

Waking with a heavenly smile

Know you present all the while

        A lovely form of grateful prayer and thank you for posting it Orchi.

        • orchidee

          Thanks Fay. Soren was a bit eccentric at times, rather too 'liberal'.
