Great God, as we are gathering, you watch your people come; as yet, we're walking out of step, help us to walk as one. Great God, within this gathering, quell enmity and fear, bring honesty and openness, make understanding clear. Great God of many gatherings, you make your people one; from different backgrounds, ways and lives, our journeys have begun. Great God, as from this gathering we go our separate ways, we're joined by you, we go as one to travel all our days.
