Prayer Streams

orchidee

Fits tune: Canonbury

(one tune to 'New every morning is the love')

******

Some song I shall to my God sing

And from my heart, life, praises ring

He Lord of all, to Him I bring

Body, soul, spirit, everything

 

Forgive where self put first, no care

And where conditions may impair

Me your voice hearing, may I turn

Afresh to you, and of you learn

 

If heavy or afflicted be

Help me your timing for to see

Bring healing, comfort, be my guide

Holy Spirit in m reside

 

And flow out as a watering stream

Sharing the light of your bright beam

To share with others, evangel

Your goodness and your wonders tell

 

Stream of waters as rivers pure

And stream of consciousness, though poor

At times my be my love, desire

Come light a flame in me of holy fire

 

Then praises worthy, [you I] worship here

Recognising your presence near

Around, within me, guard from sin

That I thus be cleansed, whole within

  • Comment from author about the poem: Originally a 'said' poem with no tune. But with a few amendments, it fits and 8.8.8.8. metre tune. Could not seem to find a clip with this tune.
