Nature Notes

orchidee



Tune: Malvern

(one tune to 'Jesus, where'er thy people meet')

*********

Come rest a while, refreshing take

So be strengthened for your Lord's sake

To serve Him well, alert and bold

Praying that our love not grow cold

 

Through ease and toil, through sun and rain

Through storms and calm, through joy and pain

He faithful be, does our hearts see

Desiring fruit plenteously

 

Fruit for His glory, words and deeds

These the fruition from the seeds

And from our state, as branches we

Abide in Him, the true Vine He

 

So nature shows the life cycle

Humanity is shared by all

Though we small, poor, to His compare

Yet we by grace His life can share

 

All things in Him, in His order

They do obey His will for sure

But where not, He will with judgement

Judge justly if they not repent

 

O Lord of life, all things in you

Find their perfect fulfilment true

Help us trust, love, grow day by day

Seek others too to know your way

            Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ Love the HYMN and the tinny Gospel Hall Piano. Jim Reeves was a perfectionist and when he was in Ireland (where many of the Pianos are Les Dawsons) Jim took a Piano Tuner with him and made the audience wait until the JOANNA was in reasonable tune ! Love todays Poem ~ not a paraphrase but an Orchii original straight from your Heart ! Don't forget my FUSION on PRAYER ~ Thanks BRIAN
