I 
Bless our darkness and be our light. 
In all our striving be our delight. 
Bless our grieving and be our healing balm. 
In our hurting instill your calm. 

II
Bless our yearnings, breathe them to life. 
Our senseless fighting, bring end to strife. 
Bless our wounded world, restore our harmony. 
Be our guiding light, our destiny.

Domine, bonus et fidelis, 
O Lord, faithful and kind. 
Domine, miserere nobis. 
Show your mercy on us 
O Lord, faithful and kind. 

III 
Bless our mourning, hush our lament. 
In our dying, be faithful friend. 
In our living, be bread of life for all. 
You are our God, You we adore. 

Chorus
