1   Lord, you have been our dwelling place

          in all generations.

2   Before the mountains were brought forth,

          or ever you had formed the earth and the world,

          from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

3   You turn us back to dust,

          and say, “Turn back, you mortals.”

4   For a thousand years in your sight

          are like yesterday when it is past,

          or like a watch in the night.

Hope Watches In the Night

We take turns

Feeding the light

Nurturing the flame

For each other

Cold

Bereft

Frightened

But

Not

Alone

We

Watch

And

Wait

Alone

Together
