Pray these words from the UCC Hymn, “Wake Now My Senses”:
Wake, now, compassion, give heed to the cry; 
voices of suffering fill the wide sky; 
take as your neighbor both stranger and friend, 
praying and striving their hardship to end. 
 
Wake, now, my conscience, with justice thy guide; 
join with all people whose rights are denied; 
take not for granted a privileged place; 
God’s love embraces the whole human race. 

“Wake Now My Senses,” Hymn 298 in Singing the Living Tradition (UCC), 
Lyrics by Thomas Mikelson
