1 You call us, Lord, to be
a people set apart,
to feel with thoughtful mind
and think with tender heart.
Thus chose, now, O Lord, we ask
for faith in your unfailing grace
to make us equal to the task.
2 You call us, Lord, to care
for self and neighbor too,
to take the risk and dare
to show what love can do.
Thus chose, now, O Lord, we ask
for faith in your unfailing grace
to make us equal to the task.
3 You call us, Lord, to be
good stewards of the earth,
to tend it as a place
of blessedness and worth.
Thus chosen, now, O lord, we ask
for faith in your unfailing grace
to make us equal to the task.
4 You call us, Lord, to serve:
to die that we may live,
to know we best receive
when joyfully we give.
Thus chosen, now, O Lord, we ask
for faith in your unfailing grace
to make us equal to the task.
