Petition by Sarah Hart

O Lord, have mercy on us all, grant us your peace, bring us your healing

For those who tend the sick with love that knows no fear, be ever at their side
And for the suffring ones who lean into your care, with healing now abide

For those who teach the child with patience keeping watch, refresh their weary minds. And for the hungry ones who lean on them to learn, prepare them in your time

For those who serve the weak with kindness reaching out, o be their source and help. And for the lonely ones, may every heart be found, and in your mercy held

For those who freely give who toil without praise, lead them to rest in you. And we who may receive, O help us understand, our debt of gratitude

We've done this at Mass right when Covid was "ending" and the parish loved it. A great hymn.

Beautiful work, Chris. As usual, I began practicing my tenor harmony with the original artist, but I couldn't get it to lock in until I sang it with your version.
