Verse 1

Renew Thy church her minstries restore
Both to serve and adore
Make her again as salt throughout the land
And as light from a stand
Mid somber shadows of the night
Where greed and hatred spread their blight
Oh send us forth with power endued
Help us Lord be renewed

Verse 2

Teach us your Word reveal its truth divine
On our path let it shine;
tell of your works, your mighty acts of grace,
from each page show your face
As you have loved us, sent your Son,
and our salvation now is won,
O let our hearts with love be stirred,
help us, Lord, know Your Word.

Verse 3

Teach us to pray for you are ever near
your still voice let us hear
Our souls are restless till they rest you
This the goal we pursue
Before your presence keep us still
That we may find for us your will
And seek your guidance every day
Teach us Lord how to pray

Verse 4

Teach us to love with strength of heart and mind
each and all, humankind;
Break down old walls of prejudice and hate
Leave us not to our fate
As you hast loved and given your life
To end hostility and strife
Oh share your grace from heaven above
Teach us Lord how to love
