Let your people hear
what you will speak, O God.
In their hearts, may
those who are faithful
turn to you, for you
will speak peace.
Who knows, perhaps
you are calling us
for such a time as now,
to prepare the way
for you?
Give us courage to speak and not be silent,
for you will be with
us. But dear God, make our path straight.
