It took 15 years to find lyrics for this melody. And I found them in the Book of Common Prayer! Praise the Lord.

Story behind the song
I wrote the melody for this song when I was 16 years old and never had words for it. A few years ago, I saw the same rhythm in the Book of Common Prayer and, with a little tweaking, made it a worship song for God.
Lyrics
Lord, Oh Holy One
Lord, oh Holy one
Help us serve Your son
Your kingdom come, on Earth thy will be done.
You're the way and light
Send your power and might
Help us complete the work that You've begun
Send your spirit, fill our hearts
With all the love you have to give
When we hear it, we will know
Your word is all we need to live
Guide us on your path
Wield your rod and staff
And when we stray, please lead us back again
May our hearts be clean
And our minds serene
So we are free to serve our fellow man
Send your spirit, fill our hearts
With all the love you have to give
When we hear it, we will know
Your word is all we need to live
Your kingdom surrounds us
Your glory astounds us all our days
Through Jesus you found us
May we delight and walk in your ways.
Lord, oh Holy one
Help us serve Your son
Your kingdom come, on Earth thy will be done.
You're the way and light
Send your power and might
Help us complete the work that You've begun
Send your spirit, fill our hearts
With all the love you have to give
When we hear it, we will know
Your word is all we need to live
