Tune: Kingsfold
('I heard the voice of Jesus say')
1 Kings 8 v.35-40
********
King Solomon prayed, Lord, if heaven
Is shut up, no rain then
If because of our sins, if we
Pray unto you, so be
And turn from our sins, hear, forgive
Then we again shall live
So teach us the good way to go
Your laws to do and know
And grant us rain upon your land
Sent down by your good hand
The land you have given unto
Your people, bless, renew
And if there be famine or blight
Pestilence in our sight
Mildew, locust, caterpillar
Whate'er plague may confer
Whate'er plague in land or city
Or whate'er sickness be
When prayer and supplication made
By your people outlaid
Then hear in heaven your dwelling place
See the troubles we face
And forgive, give unto each one
According as [their] deeds done
For each one knows plague of own heart
And you know every part
Of every one, you, you only
Know each one completely
Look on us, answer our prayers here
That you we godly fear
Live in the land which you provide
There none more blessed beside

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. 8.6.8.6. part of Solomon's prayer at the Dedication of the Temple. His sermon covers about 12 Bible verses, and his prayer about 30 or more verses. Short sermons in church anyone?!
