Tune: Divine Mysteries
('Sweet Sacrament Divine')
*******
Comes full the cycle round
God's blessings do abound
Be filled with [the] Spirit pure
The Holy Spirit, for
Person of God, shall us indwell
And grant us power that we may tell
His praises, all His deeds
Us He His people feeds
Then go to pour out free
That others too may see
His wise salvation plan
'Tis like no other can
By systems or rules formulate
He in His word He does it state
That He the Way, Truth, Life
None other shall suffice
As vessels filled, made whole
Witness to each poor soul
That they in Him may find
Healing to lame, sick, blind
Then on return to Him again
Needing continual supply, then
Go forth once more empowered
With heavenly graces showered
Arise, cast sloth aside
His glories do not hide
Leave all passivity
For Christ does set you free
Free in His service to partake
And live unto Him for His sake
That all the world may know
How He does love us so

Orchi another great hymn but somehow this one reads a bit different than most seeming a bit more contemporary.
Thanks SB. Erm, yes, maybe based on a hymn not millions of years ago!
Lovely. I hesitate to add further. Excellent details, but I've not attempted yet to sing any of these. Now you begin to tempt me. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks CM. The joke is if you sing it will drown me out! lol.
Good one Orchi.
As you mentioned Cycling Connections I nearly attached the video Bicycle Race by Queen but there is no X to put in on the comments. LOL
