Lord as we face this dark hour,
May your fierce love and awesome power
Lead us gently along the way,
With every step, through every day.

Lord as we face this long night,
May your own Spirit give us light.
Dispel the darkness, bring us warmth,
Eternal presence, eternal form.

   Lord let your love flow pure and deep, 
   Our souls refresh, our faint hearts keep,
   May your own strength our weakness fade.
   Led by your Spirit and unafraid.
  
Lord as we face this parting cut,
Keep us close in healing love.
Bind our hearts in deepest peace,
Securely held in true release.

   Lord let your love flow pure and deep, 
   Our souls refresh, our faint hearts keep,
   May your own strength our weakness fade.
   Led by your Spirit and unafraid.
