LISTEN: “Wayfarers All” by Tom Wuest, on Burn This as a Light (2017)

O God, we wait on you
O God, we wait on you

Show us the way home
Wayfarers all, Lord
Hold us in mercy
Through this dark night

O God, we wait on you
O God, we wait on you

Gather us in
Mender of everything
Bright mourning dove
Rise over all of us
