Cathedral Prayer for Mississippi

Hark, O Lord, the whisper of hope upon the fallow land, that they who wait for Thy dawning may rejoice in the freshness of Thy blessing.

Send, God, light upon the level horizon; Wash, God, the waiting earth with goodness; Fill, God, the hearts of Thy people with friendship and faith;

That remembered upon the levees, the fields and beaches, and in every town, Thy spirit may preside to the health and peace of the citizenry of Mississippi; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

—The Very Rev. Francis B. Sayre
Dean Emeritus, Washington National Cathedral
