ONCE MORE HAVE PITY ON US
With shepherd's crook, O Lord, lead your people to pasture,
the flock that is your heritage, living confined in forest
with meadow land all around.
Let them pasture in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old.
As in the days when you came out of Egypt grant us to see wonders. What god can compare with you: taking fault away, pardoning crime, not cherishing anger for ever but delighting in showing mercy? Once more have pity on us, tread down our faults, to the bottom of sea throw all our sins. Grant Jacob your faithfulness, and Abraham your mercy, as you swore to our fathers from the days of long ago.
'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mothers and brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven, he is my brother and sister and mother.'
Lord Jesus Christ, what will you have me do? Show me the way of pleasing God. Help me know the will of the Father for me. In knowing God's will in my life, give me courage to do the will of God that I maybe a worthy member of your family. H.G.
