Living God, Our refuge and our strength - A prayer for Remembrance Sunday

Lord Wallace, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, leads us in a prayer for 7pm on Sunday 14 November. We pray: Living God, Our refuge and our strength, Hear our cry in time of remembrance. Hear our cry as memory, and stories told, Carry us to places of loss and sorrow. Meet us in this time, To still the storm and calm our fears. Lord, in Your mercy Hear our prayer. Living God, Our refuge and our strength, Hear our cry in time of loss. Hear our cry, though it seems long lost, In the cruel winds that blow. May the measure of our loss Be the measure of Your grace. Lord, in Your mercy Hear our prayer. Living God, Our refuge and our strength, Hear our cry in time of sorrow. Hear our cry, and the cry of all who mourn, As it gives voice to hidden grief. May it rise from the depths of the earth And be embraced in the heights of heaven. Lord, in Your mercy Hear our prayer. Living God, Our refuge and our strength, Hear our cry in time of remembrance. Hear our cry, And still our hearts, That we may we hear the voice that speaks: Be still, and know that I am God. Lord, in Your mercy Hear our prayer.
