Evangelism Expression

orchidee



Tune: St Anne

('O God our help in ages past')

**********

Inspire us, O Lord, heart and mind

So may we in you find

Fresh grace and strength, and penitent

From our sins true relent

 

You who have bought us with a price

Your offering, sacrifice

Of yourself there upon the cross

Though human state was loss

 

For only you our help, our life

You give peace, end of strife

Make way that man to God may come

Through you, the Father's Son

 

On in each day, may we follow

And seek you more to know

You there to bless, to change us sure

More to your image pure

 

We have message to evangel

With a whole world to share

To those near, far, who yet not know

Do your salvation [them] show

 

Your grant your power, Spirit, dove

He comforts, shows your love

And too reproves of sin, leads right

To bring us to your light

 

Your righteous judgements e'er avail

They still to man prevail

Come save us, stir us, fervently

May our witness true be
