Hear our anxious prayer;
Keep our loved ones, now far absent,
'Neath thy care.
2 Jesus, Saviour, let thy presence
Be their light and guide;
Keep, O keep them, in their weakness,
At thy side.
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 them
Near to thee.
Amen. Topics: Travellers Scripture: Colossians 1:9-10 Languages: English Tune Title: CAIRNBROOK
