Kindle the Light through Jesus Christ
We ask You, Father and Lord,
as Your loving children:
Kindle the light through Jesus Christ
even more in Your little flock
That would be our hearts’ desire
That for which we hunger and thirst
and would bring us greatest joy.
Body, life, soul and limbs
We have received from You.
These we offer up to You
to praise and glorify Your name.
It is nothing but dust and ashes.
We commend to You our spirit, O God.
Take it into Your hands. Amen.
