You have borne and carried us these years in the wilderness with unchanging love and goodness. You have made us and you carry us. You do not forsake the work of your own hands. “Your mercy endures forever,” and let your praise endure forever also.
O Lord, we would cling to you more firmly than ever we have done: we would say, “Return unto your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you. For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.”
