|
<p>Hear us, O Lord, from heaven Thy dwelling place:<br>
|
|
Like them of old, in vain we toil all night,<br>
|
|
Unless with us Thou go, Who art the Light,<br>
|
|
Come then, O Lord, that we may see Thy face.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou, Lord, doest rule the raging of the sea,<br>
|
|
When loud the storm and furious is the gale:<br>
|
|
Strong is Thine arm; our little barques are frail:<br>
|
|
Send us Thy help; remember Galilee.</p>
|
|
<p>Our wives and children we commend to Thee:<br>
|
|
For them we plough the land and plough the deep;<br>
|
|
For them by day the golden corn we reap,<br>
|
|
By night the silver harvest of the sea.</p>
|
|
<p>We thank Thee, Lord, for sunshine, dew and rain,<br>
|
|
Broadcast from heaven by Thine almighty hand—<br>
|
|
Source of all life, unnumbered as the sand—<br>
|
|
Bird, beast, and fish, herb, fruit and golden grain.</p>
|
|
<p>O Bread of Life, Thou in Thy Word hast said,<br>
|
|
Who feeds in faith on Me shall never die!<br>
|
|
In mercy hear Thy hungry children’s cry—<br>
|
|
Father, give us this day our daily bread!</p>
|
|
<p>Sow in our hearts the seeds of Thy dear love,<br>
|
|
That we may reap contentment, joy, and peace;<br>
|
|
And when at last our earthly labors cease,<br>
|
|
Grant us to join Thy harvest home above.</p>
