O Lord, Jesus Christ,
Who is as the shadow of a great rock
In a weary land,
who beholds your weak creatures
Weary of labor, weary of pleasure,
weary of hope deferred, weary of self;
In your abundant compassion,
And fellow feeling with us,
And unutterable tenderness,
Bring us, we pray you,
Into your rest. -- Christina Rossetti
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,
"Therefore I will hope in him." – Lamentations 3:22-24
