The image is a photo of sheet music and lyrics for the hymn "By Gracious Powers." The hymn was written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer in 1944, and translated into English by Fred Pratt Green in 1974. Hymn text follows. "By Gracious Powers" Dietrich Bonhoeffer tr. Fred Pratt Green By gracious powers so wonderfully sheltered and confidently waiting, come what may, we know that God is with us night and morning and never fails to greet us each new day. Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented, still evil days bring burdens hard to bear; oh, give our frightened souls the sure salvation for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare. And when this cup you give is filled to brimming with bitter suffering, hard to understand, we take it thankfully and without trembling out of so good and so beloved a hand. Yet when again in this same world you give us the joy we had, the brightness of your sun, we shall remember all the days we lived through and our whole life shall then be yours alone. By gracious powers so faithfully protected, so quietly, so wonderfully near, we live each day in hour, with you beside us, and go with you through every coming year.
