Chapters

Keep watch, dear Lord, if those who were overwatch were weak this night. Give your angels charge over those who are saving others' lives. Let them be as Christ to the dying ones. Who draw their final breath, put an end to the suffering and bring the weary rest. Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work overwatch over this land. Keep watch, dear Lord, with Those who work or watch will meet this day. May healing hands bring solace near to grieving ones whose lives have changed. May your compassion give them strength to lift the heavy load. With willing minds and open hearts, the wealth of every soul. Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work or watch, oh, we miss you. Keep watching, Lord, those who work or watch, oh, we live life. May they find you in the broken hearts of those for whom you gave your life. Give eyes to see you in and the ones who are overlooked each day. And here's to hearing you in the ones who have never had a say. To watch, dear Lord, with those who work for Christ. Oh, we will rise. Keep watch, dear Lord, before those who work or watch. Oh, keepin' light.
