O soldier for the Lord
and servant of the poor
who trusted in God alone
and gave your life
for those in need –
may we, too, become friends of the one Lord,
purified of all dross
by the trials we endure
and by doing His will
in this world.
His children let us become
as we care for the children
most in need,
those who seem abandoned
by Him.
His hands and His heart
let us be,
that in such love
we shall be free
of all fear and separation
from the Father
and so dwell with those we serve
in the peace of Heaven.
