Author: Frank von Christierson, 1900-1996 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #655 (2011) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit of the living Christ,
I know not how to ask or what to say;
I only know my need, as deep as life,
And only you can teach me how to pray.
2 Come, pray in me the prayer I need this day;
Help me to see your purpose and your will,
Where I have failed, what I have done amiss;
Held in forgiving love, let me be still.
3 Come with the strength I lack, bring vision clear
Of human need; oh, give me eyes to see
Fulfillment of my life in love outpoured:
My life in you, O Christ; your love in me. Topics: Petition/ Prayer; Ordinary Time, Twenty-Eighth Sunday C; Ordinary Time, Twenty-Ninth Sunday C Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
