I’m continuing with selections from the new Willow website that were written since the As One Voice hymnals were printed.
This is a fine gathering song for times when a restrained and dignified entrance is needed. The words are by Monica O’Brien and the tune is by Gina Ogilvie. It would be fine for a reflection or as a thanksgiving song as well.
It’s another tune with lowish notes at the beginning of phrases that doesn’t seem to cause problems.
If you want to use this hymn you can purchase the sheet music at Willow.
I made a backing to sing along to for learning purposes.
1 God of mercy, God of grace,
Come among us, fill this place.
Heal our hurting, mend our wounds.
Come among us with your grace.
2 Pour your love upon us now.
Touch our spirits, make us new.
See our longing, hear our prayer.
Come among us with your grace.
3 Bless this moment, take our hearts.
Use our hands to honour you.
With our voices we will sing.
Come among us with your grace.
