Help the
world stretch loving arms in kindness
to people who are struggling in distress.
Give us the courage to stand much brighter
to make the burdens of others lighter.
Grant humankind words of understanding
that in harmony all voices will sing.
Guide us in our mission for lasting peace,
living in tolerance where all wars cease.
Thank you for grace to help our faith grow strong
and hope for a world where all will belong.—\
Amen
