Blessings Bestowed - Ye Olde Prayers Series (8)

orchidee



Tune: St Anne

('O God our help in ages past')

Based on a prayer by Aethelwold (C.908-984AD)

*********

May God the Father here us bless

Forgive sins we confess

My Christ the Son of God take care

Of us, His life we share

 

The Holy Ghost us enlighten

All the days of all men* (*mankind)

The Lord be our defender, keep

Safe in His fold His sheep

 

He keeper of body and soul

In Him we true made whole

His lasting keeping now and e'er

Through all ages fails ne'er

        Thanks N. Yep, and more to come. I did a series of what turned out to be 30 poems once, not on this same theme. It's getting 'newer' - around 1,000AD, but could slip back into older again.
