1 Lord, teach us to rejoice in you in chains or liberty; but not to rest one hour too long while others are not free. 2 Grant us your patience, gentle Christ, if hunger stalks our path; but when our sisters have no bread lend us your righteous wrath. 3 Help us, strong Christ, to know your grace wherever we may live; but for our brothers' homelessness divine impatience give. 4 Give us a peaceful, quiet mind for all we lack or need; but zeal to help when neighbours cry, to heal where nations bleed. 5 Lord Christ, you came not for yourself; for us you faced the worst: for your sake let us serve your world; for their sake, put you first.
