Prayer And Peace

orchidee



Tune: Doncaster

('Put thou thy trust in God')

Philippians 4 v.6-7

*********

Lord, you promise to hear

Our prayers when we draw near

To you, help us not to fear, for

We may trust you for sure

 

Guide us to pray your will

Our selfish desires still*

May we be anxious for nothing

Hope and help to us bring

 

Having prayed, with thanks too

Your peace to us renew

The peace of God, which shall keep our

Hearts and minds calm each hour

 

Beyond understanding

It be, how in each thing

God's peace shall keep us through His Son

Jesus Christ, He the One

-------

* 'still' in the sense of 'quieten'.
