Tune: Deep Harmony
('Sweet is the work, my God, my King')
********
Patience, peace needed, daily life
Love, grace, God's gifts, without a strife
Power of His Spirit to live
Person of God in us to give
To give to needy souls, that they
Too shall know Christ, the Life, Truth, Way
Using each gift, fruit, He bestows
Praying each His redemption knows
Gospel of salvation appears
God in His Son, to each He nears
His Spirit works in human hearts
That all come to Him, none departs
Yet with freewill, our choice to mke
To accept Christ, our Saviour take
So know forgiveness and life new
Though save ourselves we cannot do
In highs and lows, in toil and ease
Help us to do as does you please
Your kingdom come, your will be done
One in the Father, Spirit, Son
Your loving comforts grant as we
Inspired by you, your people be
Comforts of solace and of strength
Sharing your love's height, breadth, depth, length
