music: American folk melody “Land of Rest” (CM)

(“The Spirit Sends Us Forth to Serve”)

To You I call, O Lord my Rock

Please turn to me Your ear

Come save Your people from this foe

And shepherd us with care.

We lift up weary hands to You

Toward Your holy place

Come hear our cry for mercy, Lord

And give delivering grace.

He blesses His inheritance,

The objects of His love,

And carries them in mighty arms

To live and reign above.

The Lord is still our strength and shield

Give thanks to Him in song

And leap for joy, O fainting heart

Our God is swift and strong!
