The Suffrages

Verse 1

O Lord, show your mercy upon us,
and grant us your salvation.
O Lord, guide those who govern us,
and lead us in the way of justice and truth.

Chorus

Let not the needy be forgotten, O Lord,
or the hope of the poor be taken away.
Create in us clean hearts, O God;
and take not your Holy Spirit from us today.
Take not your Holy Spirit from us today.

Verse 2

O Lord, clothe your ministers with righteousness;
and let your people sing with joy.
O Lord, save your people; bless your inheritance.
Give peace in our time, O Lord,
and defend us by your mighty power.
