Yet we hoard as private treasure all that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us to a just society: with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us for the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: "I am with you to the end." Faith and hope and love restoring, may we serve as you intend, and, amid the cares that claim us, hold in mind eternity: with the Spirit's gifts empow'r us for the work of ministry.
