Blog Post 12/07/2023 - Hopefulness

Hopefulness

 

St. Mark tells us, “You do not know when the time will come.”  Advent reminds us that our time on earth is precious and that our HOPE rests on Jesus Christ our Lord and Redeemer.

 

Jesus is the Lord of All Hopefulness at the break of the day, at the noon of the day, at the eve of the day and at the end of the day.  Today take five minutes to quietly listen to Jan Struther’s poignant hymn “Lord of All Hopefulness”.*


 

Take a few minutes to listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-D_aT8CXyc



 

Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy, … at the break of the day.

 

 

Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith, … at the noon of the day.



 

 

 

 

Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace, … at the eve of the day.

 

 

 

 

 

Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm, … at the end of the day.

 

 

May God Be Praised. 

 

*[Lord of All Hopefulness Traditional Irish Tune Lyrics by Jan Struther, 1931]
