River Renewing

orchidee



Tune: Ravenshaw

('Lord they word abideth')

********

Passing by a river

Shines sun's golden sliver

Wildlife living peacefully

Nature with God one be

 

Ducks, swans, insects abide

By riverside reside

Haven calm, unspoilt see

From defilement all free

 

Help us Lord, creation

To tend, every nation

For it be your world, we live

In it by grace you give

 

In eternal city

There River of Life be

Pleasures perfect, purified

Shall to none be denied

        Thanks Heart. I did an actual walk. There is a nature reserve set back from the river. But a possible plan for a bus lane to be built next to part of the river. Oh no, cries of sabotage are going up! Nothing decided yet. Hope they protest loud enough.
