Simplicity Sentiments

Tune: Quam Dilecta

('We love the place, O Lord')

*********

A hymn sing fast or slow

But ensure that you know

The words, and understand

They all from God's good hand

 

Though pace of life may rush

Quieten heart now, and hush

Approaching Communion

Holy, with Christ be one

 

He has the way opened

And did His Spirit send

To us, we forgiven

Offer sweet praises then

 

For meditate a while

If life is calm or trial

Yet your Lord present still

Shall show you His good will

 

Eat, drink, at table spread

Christ the food, living bread

His blood the wine to drink

On these symbols now think

 

Not transubstantially

Bread, wine, here simply be

They representatives

Of Christ's life He us gives

 

For Christ did institute

Those gifts, the vine's good fruit

And bread, a staple meal

They will our souls true heal

 

His invite made to all

Whoe'er shall hear His call

Be saved by Him, redeemed

Loved by Him, high esteemed

      • Heather T

        You always amaze with these beauties, I'm not sure how you do it time after time!

        • orchidee

          Thanks Heather. There's a sense in which it's not me writing them 'of myself', but I am inspired. Nothing spooky though. I'm not 'taken over' by anything spooky when I write them.
