    Chuck, if you're interested:

    O Holy Spirit, breath of peace,
    Make strife upon the earth to cease.
    That we may thrive and safely dwell
    And know and love and serve You well.
    And make us agents of Your love
    Filled with Your virtues from above.

    O Holy Spirit, come to save.
    You make the gathered brethren brave.
    When strength is needed help us stand
    With courage on the sea and land.
    Give us resolve to seek the right
    Filled with Your pure and holy might.

    O Holy Spirit on that day
    When all earth's pow'r will fade away,
    Lord, grant us at Your throne of grace
    To gaze upon Your holy face.
    O Triune, may we ever bless
    Your everlasting righteousness.

    (Francis you are next)

    Francis, if you would like:

    Lord Jesus Christ, our King of peace,
    Fill us with living Bread
    That we may know Your love's increase
    And rise up from the dead.

    All of our pain and doubts and fears,
    Even our bitter loss,
    Share in Your mother's anguished tears
    As she beheld Your cross.

    And as she shared, so let us share
    The sorrowing of all,
    Giving our work and goods and care,
    Recov'ring from the Fall.

    In simplicity and quiet joy--
    Naz'reth and Galilee--
    May we Your grace's strength employ
    That all may become free.

    Bring us together, Jesus Christ,
    Until Your glorious day,
    And by Your perfect sacrifice,
    Show us Your perfect way.
