Your steadfast love endures forever, O God.
You know what will happen in days to come;
you know, but we do not.
We do know that days will come
when we will mourn those taken away,
and that some day we will be taken,
while others mourn.
Show us, then, how to live wisely,
making the most of our time,
trusting you not to forsake
the work of your hands,
trusting in Christ
that you will fulfill
your purpose for us,
and that your love
endures forever.
