An Ode Lyrics

An ode to the lord

Is all I can afford

Here's my charity

Behold!

An ode to the lord

Is all I can afford

In the father the word

I respite I abode

Like a bird of song

In the great trees among

Has many songs

But not a word

Thus I shall sing my ode

An ode to the lord

Is all the praise I hoard

In the depths of my heart

Where his words find abode

As the sounds of stream

That reflects a sunlit gleam

And breaks into a ford

Shall my song spread your word

An ode to the lord

Is all I can afford

Here's my charity

Behold!

Oh

An ode to the lord

I welcome you aboard

Assembly of Saints

An ancient accord

To a worshipful mode

In a silence we suffer

If no shoulder on offer

For my brother

This song a message

To our lord

An ode to the lord

Is all I can afford

Here's my charity

Behold!

Oh

An ode to the lord

Is all I can afford

Here's my charity

Behold!

Oh

The lord

Is all I can afford

Here's my charity

Behold!

Oh

An ode to the lord

Is all I can afford

Here's my charity

Behold!

Oh

An ode to the lord

Is all I can afford

Here's my charity

Behold!

Oh
