Come to our aid, O Beloved!
Darkness seems to pervade the earth;
Where is the faith, the integrity
that once lived in the hearts of your people?
Where is the truth, the trust
that made its hope in us?
O Love, cleanse us from our double talk,
Create in us new and single hearts,
Spare us from those who think,
"Our speeches will win over all.
Words are our weapons;
No one can master us!"
"For the hearts of those who call to Me,
For those who cry out with wholeness,
I shall now make myself known,"
says the Beloved;
"I shall make myself known in their hearts."
The promises of love are pure,
like silver refined in a crucible,
like gold purified seven times.
Be our safeguard, O Blessed One,
Stay close by throughout these dark days
where unloving hearts seem to abound.
Come to our aid, O Beloved!
