Tune: Ratisbon
('God of mercy, God of grace')
********
Sing a song, extempore
Flowing from the Spirit free
Takes songs old, new, to worship
Praise the Lord in deed and lip
Here one church, one body we
Christ as Head o'er all we see
Lighten us along the road
You before us it have trode
Help us, grant us grace, patience
Always to you will true sense
And with strength to persevere
May we do your good will here
You our burdens them have borne
At the cross your heart there torn
Healing you did bring for all
Unto all who on you call
Your Spirit, the Comforter
Help us attuned to Him stir
Help us live by your power
Facing needs of every hour
Not give up, nor doubt nor fear
But knowing your presence here
You will as good Shepherd keep
With your love your precious sheep
Search our hearts today, each day
Help us here to watch and pray
Our stay shall not ever be
Earth-bound, but eternally
By your grace with you shall rise
On that last day to the skies
Breathe your inspirings into
Your people, refresh, renew
So having that hope in view
We shall focus e'er on you
'Til on saved ones glorious morn
The e'erlasting Rapture dawn

lately I find more comfort in the hymn's you post thank you. ww
Thanks willy. Glad to hear of your good health news too. I'm nearing the end of reading Job (Old Testament). Who can explain all that?! it's a bit awkward that some study notes are by a Professor - some go over my head, but I'm seeking to understand more on a second attempt! Also Jesus' own sufferings. Not that any human sufferings, illness or whatever, are unreal, as we and He knows they are not.
Another good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
