A Prayer For Loved Ones
Holy Father, In Thy Mercy
Holy Father, in Thy mercy, hear our anxious prayer;
Keep our loved ones, now far distant, 'neath Thy care.
Jesus, Savior, let Thy presence be their light and guide;
Keep, O keep them, in their weakness, at Thy side.
When in sorrow, when in danger, when in loneliness,
in Thy love look down and comfort their distress.
May the joy of Thy salvation be their strength and stay;
May they love and may they praise Thee day by day.
Holy Spirit, let Thy teaching sanctify their life;
Send Thy grace that they may conquer in the strife.
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, God the One in Three,
Bless them, guide them, save them, keep them near to Thee.
Amen.
Henry Ware
John B. Dykes, 1866
