Musing Missive

orchidee



Tune: St James (Courteville)

('Thou art the way, by thee alone')

Psalm 19 v.14

*********

Let the words of my mouth, I pray

O Lord, to you this day

Be acceptable in your sight

Lead us on in your light

 

And too the meditation, see

Of my heart, let it be

Pleasing to you, on what I muse

Lead us your way to choose

 

For you are our Lord, our strength be

You grant us grace freely

And you are our redeemer, let

Your mercies keep us yet

 

We your creatures, you Creator

You have made all for sure

So may we loving, humble be

This be our prayer, our plea

          unless I am mistaken, I imagine this will be a missive hit with your disciples and fans of hymn poems everywhere .. Neville

            Thanks N. Erm, missive is meant to be 'especially a long message'. This is a bit of a shorty!
