May the love of Christ enfold us as we walk his way, his eternal arms uphold us even as we pray; strong in faith beneath his blessing, every tongue his Name confessing, every heart his peace possessing, this and every day. May the word of Christ direct us as we walk his way, and his providence protect us even as we pray. May his Spirit's power defend us, love and joy and peace attend us, his companionship befriend us, this and every day. May the living Christ renew us as we walk his way, and with gifts of grace endue us even as we pray; send us forth, his banner bearing, all the truth of God declaring, heaven's love for sinners sharing, this and every day.
