1 Holy Father, in thy mercy
Hear our anxious prayer;
Keep our loved ones, now far distant,
'Neath thy care.
2 Jesus, Saviour, let thy presence
Be their light and guide;
Keep, O keep them, in their weakness,
At thy side. A-men.
3 When in sorrow, when in danger,
When in loneliness,
In thy love look down and comfort
Their distress.
4 May the joy of thy salvation
Be their strength and stay;
May they love and may they praise thee
Day by day.
5 Holy Spirit, let thy teaching
Sanctify their life;
Send thy grace that they may conquer
In the strife.
6 Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
God the One in Three,
Bless them, guide them, save them, keep
Near to thee.
Amen.
