Good, steadfastly loving Lord -
You redeem us from trouble and gather us in from the east and west, north and south.
Our sinful ways sicken and afflict us, cause us to loathe nourishment, and draw us toward death’s gates.
We cry out to You trusting that Your steadfast love endures forever. Hearing our cry, You send us a healing word and deliver us from destruction.
For these wonderful works to humankind, we give thanks and tell of Your deeds with joyful song.
In the name of the One who saves us from our distress, we pray.
Amen.
