We are your children now.
We do not know what we will be;
but we trust we will see you as you are,
that we will be with you; and that is enough.
Surround us with your steadfast love,
and protect us from wickedness--
the wickedness of others and
our wicked propensities.
Teach us to give freely
and to receive graciously.
You sent Jesus into the world;
send us, too, to serve in his name.
