Lighten Our Darkness - Ye Olde Prayers series (17)

orchidee



Tune: Herongate

('It is a thing most wonderful')

Based on an Ancient Collect/Prayer

*********

Lighten our darkness, Lord, we pray

Shine your light and it shall be day

And in your mercy us defend

Us from all dangers to the end

 

All dangers and perils of night

That seek to us oppress, affright

Hear our prayer, through the love of your

Son Jesus Christ who lives e'ermore

 

And so waking fresh to each day

Guide us in all we do and say

To do your will, not self-will do

But grow more daily knowing you
