O Lord Most Holy

I got to present the anthem for the second service in church today and I did Cesar Franck’s Panis Anglicus, the English version, or as I have found out, one of the English versions.

O Lord most holy, O Lord most holy,
O Loving Father would we be praising all way
Help us to know Thee, know Thee and love Thee
Father, Father, grant us Thy truth and grace
Father, Father, guide and defend us

Rule Thou our willful hearts,
Keep Thee our wandering thoughts,
In all our sorrows let us find our rest in Thee
And in temptation hour, save through Thy mighty power
Thine aid, O send us, hear us in mercy
Show us thy favour, so shall we live and sing praise to Thee

It is good to sing to him. We need to cry out to him as much as we are undeserving of his love.
