My heart was breaking within me as I made this poem, to the tune of "Sweet Hour of Prayer"
~
SWEET PRESBITRY
Sweet Presbitry, Sweet Presbitry
My roots have grown so deep in thee
You were a guide a home to me
I always found my God in thee
~~
Yet in the years I hoped to grow,
I nary found a single soul
To laugh with me and cry with me
My deepest secret to bear with me
~~
Sweet Presbitry, Sweet Presbitry
I could not find one with the same zeal as me
And now I long for another Tree
I beg thee do not cry 'Adultery!'
~~
Yet I cannot bear, for me to tear
myself from you my tribal share
Yet I found God in yonder elsewhere
So cry me not, my dear, my care
~
Sweet Presbitry, Sweet Presbitry
I pray you'll grow well without me
You may forget me but I will never thee
Farewell, Farewell Sweet Presbitry
~
Farewell,
~
Farewell,
~
Sweet Presbitry.
