There is a longing in our hearts, O Lord,
for you to reveal yourself to us.
There is a longing in our hearts for love
we only find in you, our God.

In sorrow, in grief:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.

In weakness, in fear:

In sickness, in death:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.

Lord save us, take pity, light in our
darkness.
We call you, we wait:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.
