Fleetingly known yet ever remembered,
These are our children now and always,
These whom we see not, we will forget not,
Morning and evening, all of our days.
Lives that touched our lives, tenderly briefly,
Now in the one light living always,
Named in our hearts now, safe from all harm now,
We will remember all of our days.
As we recall them silently name them,
Open our heads lord now and always,
Grant to us grieving, love for the living,
Strength for each other all of our days.
Safe in your peace lord, hold these your children,
Grace, light and laughter grant them each day,
Cherish and hold them till we may know them,
When to your glory we find our way.
SUNG TO THE TUNE OF MORNING HAS BROKEN
