Tune : whatever fits to 8787, though Domiunus Regit Me ( often The King of Love my Shepherd is) is a good start
New Hymn 2016 as snakes and doves
- As snakes and doves we bring good news
As sheep to wolves we’re wary
with eyes wide open, reading signs
of sky and soil: God’s glory!
2)As oxen strong we claim reward
as ravens, we are worthy
with wildlife in a desert home
we’re guests in need of mercy
3) As birds delighting in the trees
as trees whose fruit feeds many
Good News for all the Earth we bring
the Risen Christ is ready…
4) To honour us with bread and wine
to live a life of welcome
to shape a place for refugees
to grant the poor the Kingdom!
