Lord, help us to not worry,
About what might come to be.
Help us put our trust in you,
From worldly things set us free.

Help us know how to deal with,
The troubles in life we find.
To our friends and enemies,
Lord, show us how to be kind.

Give us the strength and courage,
To stand up for what is right,
To live as you want us to,
Lord, give us needed insight.

Lord, with you as our ally,
We can make it through times rough.
Things we need and won't cause harm,
Lord, help us to find enough.

Stars seen in Neier's skies at night,
Are an awesome, marvelous sight:
Fireflies acrobat in the air,
No ropes can be seen anywhere.

Their flying is a real artwork,
Arrows and hearts light up the air:
This is an awesome sight to see,
A sight that makes us want to stare.

Beautiful songs that crickets play,
Add beauty to help end the day:
As nighttime flowers. open wide
Moonflowers' sweetness makes its way.

Neier's summer nights are grand to see,
It is there that we want to be.
