H ow much we need Thy tender care,
E ngulfed are many in dark nightmares
L ife has shown them so much pain,
P lease help them past the present strain!
T hough Thy Blessings have been sought,
H ow much evil, this world hath wrought
E nthuiasm thus loses it's edge,
H emming some up in unbridled dread.
U nless Your Help we can secure,
R ecovery for them seems quite unsure
T though for their good our hearts doth burn,
I t's for such we seek Right's return.
N ow for them we unite in prayer,
G od reach down and show Your Care
O verriding the proud ways of men,
H elp, O LORD, for who else can?
L et Thy Power be manifest,
O ur hrting ones to thus be blest
R each down and lift them by Thy Love,
D ear Lord of earth and heav'n above!
