Sing it to the tune Repton ( Dear Lord and Father of Mankind)
In times of danger and of doubt,
When trials multiply,
Lord, calm our fears and still our souls,
Remind us of your truths of old:
Help us on you rely.
Help us on you rely.
When changing our familiar ways,
Help us adapt to change;
Lord, give us persevering hearts,
A spirit fit to face the task
In comfort or in pain.
In comfort or in pain
Help us to see our neighbours' need,
Our neighbours' burden share;
To go for them that second mile,
To love and give and help and smile
In comfort or in pain.
In comfort or in pain.
Lord Jesus, you have suffered more,
Your pain has known no end;
You healed the sick, reclaimed the lame,
In pity share each sufferer's pain,
On you we now depend.
On you we now depend.
