Tune: Quam Dilecta
('We love the place, O Lord')
Jeremiah 14 v. 19-22 parts
*********
Have you, Lord, rejected
Us, who you accepted?
Why be there no healing?
Why there of peace nothing?
'Tis because of our sin
Come cleanse us from within
We acknowledge that we
Have turned from you freely
Do not abhor us, for
Your name's sake act for sure
Remember covenant
That you to us have sent
Are there any other
'Midst vain gods that do stir
To give rain? No, but you
Be our Lord God, e'er true

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.6.6. It sounds a gloomy theme, but the cause is in verse 2, Jeremiah an Old Testament prophet says. Rain is one example of what false gods cannot provide (verse 4). Aiming to write more hymn-poem-like material, but I dry up at times.
