1 Holy Father, in Thy mercy Hear our anxious prayer; Keep our loved ones who are absent 'Neath Thy care. 2 Jesus, Savior, let Thy presence Be their light and guide; Keep, O keep them, in their weakness At Thy side. 3 When in sorrow, when in danger, When in loneliness, In Thy love look down and comfort Their distress. 4 May the joy of Thy salvation Be their strength and stay! May they love and may they praise Thee Day by day! 5 Holy Spirit, let Thy teaching Sanctify their life Send Thy grace that they may conquer In the strife. 6 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God the One in Three, Bless them, guide them, save them, keep them, Near to Thee.
