Intercession
Reach across the miles, dear Father,
Touching every serving one,
Those who stand to daily offer
Help and comfort to Thine own.
Touch their ears that Thy sweet message
Ever may be clearly heard;
Touch their lips that they may freely
Speak Thy pure and living Word.
Reach across the miles, O Father,
To each missionary dear--
who stand in heat of conflict
Need Thy presence constant, near.
Some who feel alone, forgotten
In the darkness of that night--
Reach across the waters to them;
Make their pathway clear and bright.
Reach across the miles, dear Father,
Unto all who love Thy name;
By the Spirit's intercession
Quickening for them we claim.
Lo the vision is before us
a world encircled all
By the prayers of the faithful
Those who for thy glory call.
