Text

O dear God, give us what we need:
joy and delight in our lovely seed.
Help us nurture them with such care
that they themselves with their young may share.
Lord, look to your people;
judge them with equity, be merciful.
Make your face shine upon us.
O God, have mercy
and make your face to shine on us.
Kyrie eleison.
Amen.

– Michael Mauldin
