MAY HOPE RISE OUT OF TRAGEDY

Eternal Father, strong to save,

Sandy's impact has been grave,

We've seen the pictures, felt the pain,

Of all those caught in wind and rain.

O hear us as we cry to thee

for those engulfed in tragedy.

O Savior, whose almighty hand

protects all those in every land.

Send help and aid of every kind

grant we a way to serve may find.

O hear us as we cry to thee

may hope rise out of tragedy.

O Holy Spirit, work your art

in every place and every heart.

Stir great compassion, healing, love

pour down your blessings from above.

O hear us as we cry to thee

may hope rise out of tragedy.

O Trinity of love and power,

bless all your servants in this hour.

To bring relief, to find a way

to rebuild and console today.

O hear us as we cry to thee

may hope rise out of tragedy!
