Benediction

MARGARET WINGFIELD

May the love of God, our Father,
Enter into all our labors,
Guide our motives, bless our actions,
Penetrate our inmost thinking
With its purity and sweetness;
May its comfort and compassion
Be with us all.

May the Christly grace of Jesus,
May his steadfast, firm reliance
On the truth he loved and practiced,
All his might and all his meekness,
May his patience and persistence
And his gentle loving-kindness
Be with us all.

May the Spirit's blest communion
Come into our lives and lift them
Far above earth's mists and vapors,
And beyond its noise and clamor,
Into God's eternal stillness!
May its calm and healing presence
Be with us all.
