Come, living God, when least expected
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Hymnal: New Church Praise #13 (1975) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected,
when minds are dull and hearts are cold,
through sharpening word and warm affection
revealing truths as yet untold.
2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you
to speak again in startling ways;
break through the words in which we bind you
to resurrect our lifeless praise.
3 Come now, as once you came to Moses
within the bush alive with flame,
or to Elijah on the mountain,
by silence pressing home your claim.
4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you
in sight or sound or printed page,
and let us greet you in our neighbours,
in flaming youth or quiet age.
5 Then, from our gloom, your Son still rising
will thaw the frozen heart of pride
and flash upon us through the shadows
to spread his resurrection wide.
6 And we will share his radiant brightness
and, blazing through the dread of night,
illuminate by love and reason,
for men in darkness, faith's delight. Topics: Easter; Invocation; God--Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: SUNSET
