We bless your name, O
God, for you crown
us with steadfast
love and mercy--
though our love for
you is like a morning cloud,
like the dew that
goes away early.
We know that Jesus
must have grieved deeply
over the news of
John's execution,
but what you prepare
for those who love you
eye has not seen, ear
has not heard.
