Jesus, though you send us out
like lambs in the midst of wolves,
you do not abandon us there.
You know what it is like—
a lamb surrounded by wolves—
you are our saving refuge.
Fill us with your power,
the power of your Holy Spirit,
and be our Shepherd.
Wipe every tear from our eyes;
guide us to springs of the water of life;
our salvation belongs to you.
