Other St Giles Hymns
Father Jeremy of St. Michael’s Church, Torrington, Devon, has kindly sent more hymns for Saint Giles:
Thou who art beyond all praise, And yet in love dost condescend, To hear when we our voices raise, With angel-choirs above to blend. For Jesus Christ,thy Son, Our Lord, Throughout all time thy saints on earth, |
Of their great number Giles was one, Whose heart with thy compassion burned; Though highly-born, a rich man’s son, He to the weak and lowly turned. The poor, the infirm and the outcast, So may we be content to serve, Arthur Parsons. |
Lord, who of thy kindness Pitied human pain, Gave by this thy Servant Hope renewed again. Honoured then be Giles, Where we cannot heal them, |
Mighty is man’s power now To do hurt to man, Grant; we have the goodness Our own faults to ban. Let us make no cripples, Esther Kiddie |
