The Spire on the Seine

The Spire on the Seine
A Hymn for The American Church in Paris


Text: John A. Dalles
Tune: AMERICAN
Meter: 64646664

The spire on the Seine
Soars toward the sky!
Drawing us here again,
Hearts lifted high.
This sacred rendezvous,
Is where we meet with You,
To share the good, the true,
We glorify!

The spire on the Seine
Heightens our prayer:
Praise mingles, each amen
Rings through the air.
Dear friends and neighbors new,
Here, are made one, in You!
United us through and through,
In Jesus’ care!

The spire on the Seine
Stands for our aims,
To serve the world’s children,
Christ calls and claims.
Help us to live simply,
Care deeply, love kindly,
And to give generously,
In Jesus’ name!
