Leading Light

orchidee



Tune: St Timothy

('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')

********

O dawn on us, O heavenly Light

Illuminate our sight

Guard us and guide us, feed us, keep

You take us for your sheep

 

You who died for us, rose again

The Saviour of all men* {*mankind}

Trusting for our salvation true

We have in you life new

 

Your promise us to forsake ne'er

But your presence to share

With us through each day and each night

Your glories always bright

 

Come to they who with heavy load

Do find their hearts bestowed

Your burden light, your yoke easy

Thus may our sure state be

      I think we're all looking for a light somewhere dear Orchi, to shine us on. Just lovely!
