God of our salvation,
you console the downcast--
you are the one we
must follow and fear,
whose commands we
must keep,
whose voice must
obey;
you we must serve
and hold fast.
When we are
exhausted, our bodies
without rest,
afflicted in every
way (disputes without
and fears within),
remind us of Jesus,
he who conquered suffering
and rejection, for he
is the hope of the ends of the earth.

rest, but we were afflicted in every way--disputes without and fears
within. But God, who consoles the downcast, consoled us by the arrival of
Titus…
