Though pilgrim strangers here below, we ask, as through the world we go, to plant a flower, to pluck a weed, to serve unsought a neighbour's need: and to our children leave behind a better world for humankind. A friendlier world be theirs, we pray, through lessons learned by us today; where all shall cherish, all shall share, the earth which God created fair: where fear, disease and famine cease, and peoples learn to live in peace. O Prince of peace, whose reign on earth brings freedom, light and hope to birth, may we and all who name your Name the love of God in Christ proclaim: in Christ, by whom are sins forgiven, the Life, the Truth, the Way to heaven.
