May God's hand be on your shoulder
Through these trying hours and days,
God's guiding light surround you as you
tread these shadowed ways.

May you know God's warmth as sadness
Breaks its cold wave on your shore;
May you feel God's love enfold you
With a faith sound and secure.

May God's presence close beside you
Give you strength to carry on, 
Trusting in God's tender promise 
Of a new and brighter dawn.
