I
Bless our darkness and be our light.
In all our striving be our delight.
Bless our grieving and be our healing balm.
In our hurting instill your calm.

II
Bless our yearnings, breathe them to life.
Our senseless fighting, bring end to strife.
Bless our wounded world, restore our harmony.
Be our guiding light, our destiny.

Chorus
Domine, bonus et fidelis,
O Lord, faithful and kind.
Domine, miserere nobis.
Show your mercy on us
O Lord, faithful and kind.

III
Bless our mourning, hush our lament.
In our dying, be faithful friend.
In our living, be bread of life for all.
You are our God, You we adore.

Chorus

Outro
Bless our darkness and be our light.
In all our striving be our delight.
Bonus et fidelis, miserere nobis.
You are our God, faithful and kind.
