Resistance

Our father, who art in heaven
And sees our homeless life,
Look after us, your loyal children,
Stop the tears that cloud our soul.
Hallowed be thy name here on strange earth,
Where we were violently torn from the parental home,
among enemies and must pray secretly,

Thy will be done! we call out humbly,
Believing that sorrow and joy must come from you,

That you give us everything, great, Almighty God,
And the profound belief will sweeten our fate.

Lord, stint us not our daily bread!
Give strength to survive, and for the souls the faith,
That our exile is not without reason,
That we are perhaps suffering for our old sins.

Forgive us our trespasses, which arose in weakness,
When conflict, pain, desperation fill our souls.
And when some, oh Lord, fall beneath the cross.
Lead us not into temptation which spoils the soul,
Deliver us from all evil

And allow us a happy return home.
