Dear God, you have
been our help;
so we in the shadow
of your wings
very many times have sung for joy.
Why, then, have we so
little faith?
Why so much in fear
of perishing?
You are faithful though
we are not.
When trouble comes,
you provide
the way out, and we
can endure it.
Give us the strength
to take root
downward into our
faith history,
and to bear fruit
upward to you.
