Parish News for Sunday 27th June 2010

That I May See
..............................
Lord that I may see
The beauty of Thy hand
In all created things
That I may hear
The sweetness of Thy voice
The whisper of Thy wings
That I may know
The fragrance of Thy love

The blessed peace it brings
That I may drink
O Lord
Of Thy eternal springs
That I may feel
The longings of Thy heart
For I would hold Thee close
And not depart
