Perpetual Presence - Ye Olde Prayers Series (11)

orchidee



Tune: Ravenshaw

('Lord, thy word abideth')

Based on a prayer by St Patrick (c.389-461AD)

*****************

Lord, this day be with us

Within purify us

Be above to draw us

Beneath to sustain us

 

Be before to lead us

Behind to restrain us

Around to protect us

Ever do stay with us
