Humbly Hoping

orchidee



Tune: Quam Dilecta

('We love the place, O Lord')

Psalm 131

*******

Lord, my heart not haughty

Nor are my eyes lofty

And nor is my concern

Matters too great to learn

 

Not things too high, profound

But simplicity found

As I child-like behave

The lowly, meek you save

 

I have quieted my soul

When burdened by life's toll

My soul is as weaned child

Of mother kind and mild

 

Let all people hope sure

In the Lord evermore

Trusting in Him secure

Blessed they in spirit poor

        Yes indeed Orchi "in spirit poor" it seems that most church goers and clergy too have forgotten this part.
