Children are out in droves tonight, Lord,
going door to door, in search of sweets
and we, all your children, knock on your door,
seeking the treats that are yours to give...
Treat us with mercy, O Lord, we pray
and pardon our sins and failings
to give us a new beginning...
Treat us with wisdom, the wisdom we need,
to seek and make peace
all around the world...
Treat us with grace, Lord,
with tender compassion,
and heal what's wounded within us...
Treat us with kindness and teach us how
to be honest and fair
in the judgments we make...
Treat us with patience
and help us to see
the burdens our neighbors carry...
Treat us with generous, prodigal love
and teach us to love, Lord,
as you love us...
No tricks in our prayer, Lord,
we come empty handed,
begging you fill us with all we need...
Protect us, Lord, while we're awake
and watch over us while we sleep
that awake, we might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
I couldn't find a Trick-or-Treat-Hymn - but I did come across this song about how Jesus
has cared for us, "treated" us - and I hope it leads you to prayer...
