All heavy laden acquainted with sorrow
May christ in our marrow carry us home
From alabaster come blessings of laughter
A fragrance of passion and joy from the truth

Grant the unbroken tears ever flowing
From hearts of contrition only for you
May sin never hold true that love never broke through
For god's mercy holds us and we are his own

This road that we travel may it be the straight and narrow
God, give us peace and grace from you, all the day
Shelter with fire, our voices we raise still higher
God, give us peace and grace from you, all the day through
