Hear our prayer, this day, O Lord,
And let our cry come unto Thee,
You who walk us through the valley,
You who guide us across the sea,
Hear the wailing of our sorrow,
Each loss felt most bitterly,
Every day reaching up to Heaven —
“Lord, have mercy, mercy on me.”
Miserare nobis, always —
How we send this cry to Thee,
Walking past the man in sorrow,
Focusing only on our “me”.
Teach us, Lord, to hear your answer,
Give us, Lord, the eyes to see
How to learn to love each other,
Lord, have mercy, hear my plea.
Lord, bring light to cure our blindness,
Open up our hearts to see,
How you gave your life to love us,
Died in pain most miserably,
There to teach us all the lesson
Of how love is God’s own key,
Help us strip away the shadows,
Lord have mercy, hear my plea.
Lord, may those of us who love you
Learn how not to turn and flee
When the need cries out for our hands,
When our hearts quake miserably.
Teach us how to walk that hard path
Transformed by Your love’s truth to see
How we are the tools in your hand,
There to be Your love’s mercy
Fairest Lord Jesus {Lyrics: Münster Gesangbuch, 1677. Composer: Schlesische Volkslieder, 1842.}
Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature,
O thou of God and man the Son!
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring:
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host:
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast.
Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be thine!
Grant a Restful Night's Sleep to All my Dear Sisters and Brothers, King Jesus. May the New Day See us in Worship to Thee. Help us to Love Thee, and Seek to Walk in Thy Ways. You are Beloved to us, O Lord and Creator of All.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, be Exalted Forevermore our Father, amen.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle
and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
Matthew 11:28-29
