and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

with which the soul will long
shall far surpass the power of human telling:

For your children, hungry, dying, for the homeless and oppressed.
May we, as your sons and daughters, share with open heart and hand,
Till your justice flows like water to the poor throughout the land.

Keep us serving, loving, praying, welcoming your kingdom here. Topics: Mission; Nation/National Holidays; Recreation Used With Tune: IN BABILONE
