Release in us those healing truths Unconscious pride resists or shelves. 4 In conflicts that destroy our health We recognize the world's disease; Our common life declares our ills: Is there no cure, O Christ, for these? 5 Grant that we all, made one in faith, In your community may find The wholeness that, enriching us, Shall reach the whole of humankind.

Your hand, in sight of all my foes, Does still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, And all my work be praise! There would I find a settled rest, While others go and come. No more a stranger, nor a guest; But like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION
