O God of Israel,
we hope in you and
in your steadfast love and
in your great power to redeem.
David played the lyre for Saul,
and the king experienced healing.
Cornelius prayed and gave you alms;
Peter brought him news of redemption.
The disciples, frightened, in disarray,
witnessed your power to redeem;
from on high you clothed them.
Clothe us, too, we pray you.
we hope in you and
in your steadfast love and
in your great power to redeem.
David played the lyre for Saul,
