Your steadfast love, O God, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands;
fulfill your purpose for me, I pray.
You abound in love for us, O Christ;
may we abound in love for one another.
Do not let my hands, nor any part of me,
fail to serve you with love; do not let me
appear before you with empty hands.
