Bring hope, O Lord,
To Thy suffering people.
In their anguish and pain,
Be Thou their hope.

Bring hope, O Lord,
To Thy persecuted people.
In their despair,
Be Thou their hope.

Bring hope, O Lord,
To Thy needy people.
In their hunger and thirst,
Be Thou their hope.

Bring hope, O Lord,
To Thy dying people.
In the hour of their death,
Be Thou their hope.

In the Name of Jesus our hope,

Amen
