Tune: Albano
('Once, only once, and once for all')
******
Look on us Lord, and patience give
Help us unto you live
Your Spirit's power, every hour
We pray you us endower
Provide for us, our daily bread
By you we all are fed
Food for our bodies, spirits, souls
Safe in our Shepherd's fold
Rest, hasty heart, still worried, hear
Know that your Lord is near
'Til season of your troubles past
Shall not for ever last
But here we know our suffering
None to yours comparing
Yet you give strength along the way
For what we face each day
Give grace where we tempted to sin
And evil thoughts begin
Help us your will to know and do
What will glorify you
None left bereft, you Comforter
Your Spirit does us stir
Gives strength and solace, meets our needs
To our Father He pleads
Pleads that we grow in Christ the Son
The risen holy one
Where distractions, fears may abound
Help us hear your voice sound
It shall lead on, your still, small voice
And cause us to rejoice
Again in you, our living Lord
The true, eternal Word

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8686 Common Metre (CM), linking with an Easter theme. Could not trace a clip with 'Albano' tune. The clip has a different tune - seems to fit to 8787 metre.
