1 Holy Father, in your mercy
Hear our anxious prayer;
Keep our loved ones who are absent
In your care.
2 Jesus, Savior, let your presence
Be their light and guide;
Keep, oh, keep them in their weakness
At your side.
3 When they sorrow, when in danger,
When in loneliness,
In your love look down and comfort
Their distress.
4 May the joy of your salvation
Be their strength and stay.
May they love you, may they praise you
Day by day.
5 Holy Spirit, let your teaching
Sanctify their life;
Send your grace that they may conquer
In the strife.
6 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
You are God alone;
Bless them, guide them, save them, keep them,
All you own.
