Make Haste to Be Kind

Life is short
We do not have much time to gladden the
hearts of those who travel with us
So be quick to love
make haste to be kind

And may the peace of God
that passes all understanding
keep your hearts and minds
in the knowledge and love of God
and his son, Jesus Christ, our Lord

And the blessing of God Almighty
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
be upon you and remain with you,
those you love, now and always.

Amen
