Tune: Be Thou My Vision
Lyrics: God of all gentleness, God of pure love, you do not watch us from heights far above, you are no tyrant, but patient and mild, present with grace in the poor, in the child.
God of all mercy, may we be the ones bearing your love to your daughters and sons, not out of pity but humbly, with grace, for in the poor we see your human face.
God of all justice, give us hearts to care, hope to free prisoners of fear and despair, courage to challenge the ways that oppress, deep love to reach out to heal and to bless.
God of compassion, your Spirit now pour into us all, for it’s we who are poor, hungry for justice, for healing and grace, and for full life for the whole human race. -
O Jesus, Wounded Sovereign

Tune: O Sacred Head Now Wounded Lyrics: Dear Jesus, you who suffer and walk among the poor whose hearts and lives are broken, whose faith is still unsure: despised, accused and battered, you do not say a word. So powerless, yet loving!— you are my Sovereign Lord. You bear no arms but loving, no threats nor flags unfurled. You wear no kingly robes, but the sorrows of the world. Yet your forgiveness conquers each worldly rule and reign, and rises, whole, undaunted, from evil, death and pain. While emperors abuse you, and people shrug or stare, and dark injustice troubles the ones for whom you care, your mighty grace arises, and hidden from our sight, enfolds all living beings in your triumphant light. O Jesus, wounded Sovereign, I pray, give me the nerve without this world’s armor to love and bless and serve. My master and companion, rule all eternity with grace and deep compassion, and, Lord, begin with me.
