Pope's Intentions
Liturgy, Source of Life. That the public, prayerful celebration of faith may give life to the faithful.
Mission Churches. That mission churches may be signs and instruments of hope and resurrection.
"The boat immediately arrived at the shore to which they were heading"
Whenever storms are roaring,
You Lord, are our support.
We praise You, God, imploring,
You guide us safe to port.
Safe, secure we stand,
Trusting hold Your hand,
Though the mountains quake
Mighty oceans break.
When swelling waters frighten
When solid mountains sway,
Joy comes our life to lighten.
Our thanks to You we say.
In Your city dwell,
Keep her safe and well.
A mighty river shelters
God's lofty citadel.
The nations rage in frenzy,
The splendor of the proud
Falls when God speaks with mighty voice
No thunder is so loud.
God is with us here.
Lord of hosts, You're near,
Our light and our salvation.
Therefore we have no fear.
Come here, that you may see them,
The wonders of His might
Discord must surely vanish
Where He brings peace and light.
Spear and mighty shield
To His light must yield
The Lord God indeed
Rescues all in need.
