Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work or watch or weep this night. And give your angels charge o'er those who are saving others' lives. Let them be as Christ to the dying ones who will draw their final breath. Let their May your hands soothe the suffering and bring the weary rest. Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work. Oh, watch. Oh, weep this night. Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work. Oh, watch. Oh, weep this day. Their healing hands bring solace near to grieving ones whose lives have changed. Let your compassion give them strength to lift the heavy load with willing minds and open hearts that welcome every soul. Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work overwatch over weep— ears to hear you and the ones who have never had a say. Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work. Oh, watch. Oh, weep and mourn. Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work. Oh, watch. Oh, weep and mourn. Life.
