A hymn for our elected officials

who when they aren't sitting on their hands, are using them to point fingers across the aisle.

Modern day, happy-clappy, contemporary Christian praise songs just don't work for me in a crunch, so this is based on "Lord Jesus Christ, Be Present Now" by unknown author, 1651. Based on Psalm 95. Tune: "Herr Jesu Christ, dich". To be sung "brightly."





Lord Jesus Christ, be present now,
Our hearts in true devotion bow,
Your Spirit send with grace divine,
And let your truth in lending shine.

Glory to God the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To you, O blessed Trinity,
Be praise here and Washington DC!
