1 We pray for those adrift, afraid;   
for refugees abused, betrayed,
who yearn for somewhere safe to stay:
look down, O Lord, and see.

2 Forgive us for our cold neglect,
our lack of mercy and respect.
Teach us to welcome and protect:
look down, O Lord, and see.

3 Help us to love unselfishly
as we were loved at Calvary,
each coming as a refugee:
look down, O Lord, and see.
