Home and Friends — Absent Friends (1)
William Martin*O Lord our God, who art in every place and from whom no space or distance can ever separate us: We thank thee that those who are absent from each other are present with thee. We therefore pray thee to have in thy holy keeping those dear ones from whom we are now separated; and grant that both they and we, by drawing nearer to thee, may be drawn nearer to each other, and be bound together in thy love; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
