A Hymn to ponder (STF 524)

Listening God, you hear us when we cannot speak,

When despair and turmoil leave us faint and weak,

In love you call us back to you again

And your grace reminds us how you feel our pain.

Searching God, you find us when we go astray,

As self-centred living takes us from your way.

In love you seek us, show us what we’ve lost,

And your tears remind us what forgiveness cost.

Suffering God, you lift us from our deepest grief,

When emotion blinds us to our own belief.

In love you touch us with your nail torn hand

And your wounds remind us why you understand.

Risen God you show us love too strong for death,

Evil deeds defeated by your living breath.

In love you teach us never to despair,

Your new life reminds us, hope is always there.

Marjorie Dobson (b.1940)
