<\/a>Reflection<\/i>\nGrey stones, piled one on another:
\nSigns of past grandeur.
\nStatues of former heroes,
\nA train station that’ll have you going places.
\nA ring of supermarkets,
\nEach one vying to be brighter than the next.
\nA football team, at the bottom of the top flight,
\nYet yearning to stay up and play the game.<\/p>\n

\nGod is our strength and refuge,
\nA present help in trouble.
\nWhen God is with us we shall not be overcome.
\nBe still and know your Creator.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nStanding on Castle hill on Good Friday each year local Christians pray for the town. Bob wrote a prayer often used there: God bless Huddersfield.
\nGod bless Huddersfield.
\nGuide its people and keep them safe.
\nWhere there is stress, bring healing.
\nWhere there is enmity, bring peace.
\nWhere jobs are in danger, bring security.
\nWhere people work too hard, bring rest.
\nLet your faith fill this town,
\nLet your hope inspire this town,
\nLet your love enfold this town.
\nGod bless Huddersfield.
\nAmen.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nHoly One, now may your servants go in peace
\nAccording to your promise,
\nFor we have seen the signs you have provided,
\nThat light the way for all who seek you,
\nAnd we have pointed to them faithfully,
\nFor every generation.
\n
\nGlory, Glory, Glory,
\nCreator, Son, Spirit,
\nAmen, Amen, Amen.<\/b><\/p>\n
