('The Church of God a kingdom is')
*********
Almighty God and eternal
Come help us, lest we fall
Sanctify, govern here our hearts
That we shall not depart
Sanctify too our bodies, souls
And spirits, make us whole
Keep us in the ways of your laws
That your will be our cause
Keep too us here in your commands
The righteous, true demands
That protected by you we be
Forgiven by you, made free
And so we pray you us preserve
That we your strength conserve
To serve you body, spirit, soul
Through Jesus, who saves sole

I see your writings as prayers I can read daily for comfort. Hugs.
Thanks A. This occasional 'series' is based on formal set prayers in a church book. Glad they are a comfort, in the sense of 'solace' and the old (not too old? heehee) sense of 'strengthen'. Yet some might be from the 17th Century. I was around then of course. Was you?! Ye Olde Days, thee and thou, and all that jazz!
I am a renaissance man.
Another uplifting supplication of faith . Indeed santify is a word used too infrequently but so necessary to believers .
Thanks S.
