"MORNING HYMN" |
Tune: Melita. 'A Sunday morning hymn.' Some say the week of work is done On this the day of ready rest, But this the day when God the son Dealt death to death is first and best. This day the first and finest, Lord: Reveal the Word within the word. As on the day of Pentecost Disciples waited, watched and prayed So we who wish to serve your cause Pray on the first and finest day. We watch and wait to meet you, Lord: Reveal the Word within the word. You came to still the voice of doubt In Thomas on this day of grace; You seized his fear and cast it out, Gave him to cry the cry of faith. Give us to cry, ‘My God, my Lord’ Reveal the Word within the word. Like John in exile on the isle With you in Spirit on this day, We long to see transforming sights About the battles of today. We long to serve you in the world: Reveal the Word within the word. The Word made flesh we long to meet, Discern his action, hear his speech; At home, abroad, in field and street His lesson and example teach. So speak to us this Sunday, Lord: Reveal the Word within the word. Copyright 2001 Robert Atkins; all rights reserved Contact: c/o M Phillips 24 Ty-Bryn Hill Abertillery Gwent NP13 1RR Great Britain |
