  • When the lamp is going out keep the flame alive
    and save bruised reed from being broken.

    Let us know the mystery of the eternal life
    Leaping in the pulse beat
    and make us aware of the dignity of a single life
    housed in the beating of a warm heart.

    Help us that we may not discriminate
    those who have from those who have not,
    the high in status from the lowly,
    the unlettered from the educated,
    those I know so well
    from those who are strangers to me.

    Ah, human life which cannot be bought
    in exchange for the whole world!
    Make us aware of the fearsomeness,
    the gravity and the greatness
    of this overwhelming and awesome task
    of caring for the sons and daughters of God.
