would we claim glory, but for you alone,
because of your great love and faithfulness,
the steadfast care that makes your presence known.

They vainly look for what they idolize,
for flaunted wealth, for burnished images,
and trim all gods to their own shape and size.
3 But we will trust in God, our help and shield,
transcendent Life on whom all lives depend,
whose untold mercies give our spirits voice
to bless the Lord in songs that never end.

hear us as we seek release
from the pain of earlier living;
set us free and grant us peace.

humbly hopeful into life.
Use us as a means of blessing:
make us stronger, give us faith.

give us hope to be more true,
give us love to go on learning:

will our world order
change in a day,
but by your people,
fearless and faithful,
small paper lanterns,
lighting the way. [Refrain]

shining and certain
through all our turmoil,
terror, and loss,
bonding us gladly
one to the other,
till our world changes
facing the cross. [Refrain]

And gave his sons to God;
But water seals the blessing now,
That once was sealed with blood.

When she received the word;
Thus the believing jailer gave
His household to the Lord.
Thus later saints, eternal King!
Thine ancient truth embrace;
To thee their infant offspring bring,
And humbly claim the grace.
