Come, living God, when least expected

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Hymnal: New Church Praise #13 (1975) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected, when minds are dull and hearts are cold, through sharpening word and warm affection revealing truths as yet untold. 2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you to speak again in startling ways; break through the words in which we bind you to resurrect our lifeless praise. 3 Come now, as once you came to Moses within the bush alive with flame, or to Elijah on the mountain, by silence pressing home your claim. 4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you in sight or sound or printed page, and let us greet you in our neighbours, in flaming youth or quiet age. 5 Then, from our gloom, your Son still rising will thaw the frozen heart of pride and flash upon us through the shadows to spread his resurrection wide. 6 And we will share his radiant brightness and, blazing through the dread of night, illuminate by love and reason, for men in darkness, faith's delight.
