- We must live in the peace of Christ that surpasses all understanding in these contentious times
1) O Godhead, everlasting light
O undivided Trinity,
though frail, we now confess your name
and beg you, hear our humble prayer
2)May you remain our pure desire
and be our deepest love and joy;
may all our longing rest in you
and may you be our heart’s delight.
REFRAIN
We place our faith in YOU God most high
Dear. Father and dear Jesus
and you Holy Spirit ever blest,
the bond of love uniting them both
3)In these anxious and contentious times
Keep us close to your heart and mind
That your peace surpassing all understanding
May direct our everyday way of living
4)Many being deceived deceive others
Help us bring you the truth to others
Help us be humble strong and bold
As you bring down our enemy’s stronghold
REFRAIN
5)O holy truth and living charity,
our end and blessed happiness,
give us courage and hope in you
and grant us grace to love each other.
6)You are are source and final end,
the font from which creation flows
Our firm hope for we believe in you
7)In these anxious and contentious times
Keep us close to your heart and mind
That your peace surpassing all understanding
May direct our everyday way of living
8)We ask you Father and dear Son
and beg you Spirit of them both
Sustain us with your loving care,
who reign for ever Three in One. Amen
