The Lord be near us as we pray and help us, through the darkest day, to find our spirits' strength and stay in his most holy Name. To him be heartfelt homage paid and sacrifice of prayer be made; in him we trust, and undismayed his promised presence claim. May God our dearest hopes fulfill and move our hearts to seek his will, rejoicing in his triumph still and his prevailing Name; who hears and answers all our prayers, who knows the weight of human cares, and in his Son our nature shares, for evermore the same. Let others trust in wealth and power to save them in the evil hour, we find our refuge and our tower in God's eternal Name; in him to stand, secure and strong, believers who to Christ belong, and with his saints in ceaseless song his faithfulness proclaim.
