O Father, on your love we call,
When sorrow overshadows all,
And pain that feels too great to bear
Drives from us any words for prayer;

Enfold in love for ever more

All those we love, but see no more.

Our children, innocent and dear,
Were strangers to a world of fear;
Each precious life had more to give,
In each, our hopes and dreams could live;
Enfold in love for ever more
All those we love, but see no more.

So brief, the joy since each was born,
So long the years in which to mourn;
Give us compassion to sustain
Each other in this time of pain;
Enfold in love for ever more
All those we love, but see no more.

Guard us from bitterness and hate,
And share with us grief’s crushing weight
Help us to live from day to day
Until, once more, we find our way;
Enfold in love for ever more
All those we love but see no more.

When dark despair is all around,
And falling tears the only sound,
Light one small flame of hope that still
You walk with us, and always will
Enfold in love for ever more
All those we love, but see no more.
