cf. Psalm 122
Tired of godlessness and spite,
longing for the place of light,
fellowship, and words of God:
foretaste of the home ahead.
Place of strength and unity,
place of peace and purity,
place of love, forgiveness, grace:
shadow of that heavenly place.
For its safety pray, its peace
(all divisiveness to cease);
worship and prosperity,
comfort and security.
