('Lead, Kindly Light')

Colossians 1 v.9-14

********

O Spirit lead me, each time that I pray

What shall I say?

Bless this or that, or him or her, it be

Prayer generally

But to focus, specific things to pray

Teach us, O Lord, what to pray every day

 

Praying as Paul, desiring people all

Shall hear God's call

That they be filled with knowledge of His will

Rest in truth still

In all wisdom and in all spiritual

Understanding, they safe, and shall not fall

 

That they may live worthy of the Lord, see

And pleasing be

Unto Him, and in each good work fruitful

Praise Him in all

And increasing in the knowledge of God

Following sure the path His Son has trod

 

Strengthened with all might, be according to

His power anew

His glorious power, working in each one

His will be done

Strengthened to all patience, longsuffering

With joyfulness, these shall His Spirit bring

 

Giving thanks to the Father who has made

A way, price paid

Paid by His Son, and so we now made meet

Unto His feet

To come, partakers of inheritance

Of saints in light, by God's grace this our stance

 

He has delivered us from darkness' power

We every hour

No have been translated into kingdom

Of His Son, done

'Tis the work, for His dear Son us redeemed

Forgiveness through His life-blood to us deemed
