- Holy Father, in thy mercy
Hear our anxious prayer.
Keep our loved ones, now far absent,
'Neath thy care. - Jesus, Saviour, let thy presence
Be their light and guide ;
Keep, keep them in their weakness,
At thy side. - When in sorrow, when in danger,
When in loneliness,
In thy love look down and comfort
Their distress. - May the joy of thy salvation
Be their strength and stay;
May they love and may they praise thee
Day by day. - Holy Spirit, let thy teaching
Sanctify their life;
Send thy grace, that they may conquer
In the strife.

- Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin:
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within. - Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed:
To do the will of Jesus,—this is rest. - Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round:
On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found. - Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away:
In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they. - Peace, perect peace, our future all unknown:
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne. - Peace, perfect peace death shadowing us and ours:
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. - It is enough; earth's struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace. Amen.
