Prayer for Martin Luther King's Birthday
O Guardian of Israel, our shelter and shade,
stir up in us that flame of justice
that Jesus incited on this earth,
that rages in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.
O arouse in us that very flame of righteousness
that enticed Martin to be a living sacrifice of praise,
to seek freedom for all God's children.
O to you, God ever faithful and true,
Be the flory for ever and ever.
Amen.
