As we trust in You, Lord, lead us to Your light.
Help us seek to always to know You, and to do what is right.
May we hope through this dark night, until awakes the dawn.
From our hopes we pray, Lord, that good fruit will be borne.

Dear Lord, give us true peace, and the wisdom to see
That walking by steps of faith, will at last set us free.
In this dark and painful valley, which You ask us to trod,
May strength come to us through faith, in You, our faithful God.

Go now, Lord, to those we love.  Help our loved ones too,
That they may love the truth.  May they love the truth in You.
Guide them along this rough road, this often painful way.
Lead them home to You, Lord, and to Your truth today.

(Based on Sir. 11:20-21a, 22)
