Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #81 Meter: 10.7.10.10 First Line: God in whose memory no one is lost Lyrics: 1 God in whose memory no one is lost,
love that will seek and will find,
do not forget us when we forget you,
when we know fear in the mists of the mind.
2 Faces and places familiar are gone,
clouds of unknowing descend,
do not forget us when we forget you,
cared-for and carer have need of a friend.
3 Help us accept what we cannot repair,
though our hearts hunger and ache,
do not forget us when we forget you,
give us the strength not to flinch or forsake.
4 Memories moved to a world of their own
test all our faithful belief:
do not forget us when we forget you,
help us, each one in this shadow of grief.
5 Give us the grace of true kindness and touch,
patience to stay on this road,
do not forget us when we forget you,
Spirit of Jesus, compassion of God. Topics: Adversity; God Faithfulness; Inner Peace; Protection Languages: English Tune Title: FORGET-ME-NOT
