***********
Lord, you do see us to be set
Among many troubles yet
Praise is still sung, you are worthy
You our help and refuge be
come to aid us, your power show
That you are Lord all may know
Defend us, we have no power
Of our own for any hour
To save ourselves, we may know not
What to do, that be our lot
But we look to you, have mercy
Look on us, our frame dust be
Lord, there be none other that do
Fight for us, it be thus true
But you, who support and defend
Keep your people to the end
Grant us peace, your lasting presence
Your Spirit with us we sense
You our Father, we your children
We in relationship then
With you, and so may we humbly
Grow more Christ-like, others see
You in us, be led to follow
You, that they too may you know
