Hymns Modern & Ancient
1: Let us with an open mind (Sea of Faith)
(Tune: Monkland 77.77.)
Let us, with an open mind,
Put the formal Church behind:
Sea of Faith, O let us sing,
For we don't believe a thing!
Cupitt's books we try to read,
But our minds he doth exceed:
Sea of Faith, O let us sing,
For we don't believe a thing!
God a mere constructed sign,
Not a person all divine:
Sea of Faith, O let us sing,
For we don't believe a thing!
Christ, a word in history,
Not the Lord to thee and me:
Sea of Faith, O let us sing,
For we don't believe a thing!
Holy Ghost, poured from our hearts,
Not the breath that God imparts:
Sea of Faith, O let us sing,
For we don't believe a thing!
There's our creed, our faith in one.
Dum-de, dum-de, dum-de dum!
Sea of Faith, O let us sing,
For we don't believe a thing!
