Keep Watch, Dear Lord in memoriam: Easter 2020

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or wait, or weep this night, and give thine angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ: give rest to the weary: bless the dying, soothe the suffering, comfort the afflicted, shield us all: and all for thy love's sake.

Text: based on a prayer by St Augustine, slightly altered. Music: Chris Hutchings www.hutchingsmusic.co.uk twitter.com/hutchingsmusic
