Hymn
16 Days Hymn by Lizzi Ann Green
To be sung to the tune of ‘Abide with me’
In shadows deep, where voices mourn and cry,
We gather here, where silent sorrows lie,
Through broken hearts and spirits torn by fear,
We hold each other close, for God is near.
A dawn will break, where justice lights the way,
We stand as one, to bring a brighter day,
Each life is precious, each held in sacred worth,
We fight for peace, for healing of the earth.
God of all grace, our pleas we lift on high,
For strength and hope, as endless tears we cry,
Give us the courage, in our quest for right,
To end all violence, bring Your truth to light.
In pain and grief, may we Your comfort know,
In every heart, let seeds of mercy grow,
Guide us, O Lord, through darkness and through strife,
Till all the earth is filled with love and life.
All made as one, in God’s own image bright,
Each life is sacred, precious in His sight,
No one forgotten, no one cast aside,
In love we stand, with hearts and hands allied.
