Renew Your Church

Renew Your church

our mi­nis­tries re­store:

Both to serve and ad­ore.

Make us again as salt through­out the land

And as light from a stand.

’Mid som­ber sha­dows of the night

Where greed and hat­reds spread their blight

O send us forth with pow­er en­dued

Help us

Lord

be re­newed.

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.

Teach us to pray

for You are ev­er near

Your still voice let us hear.

Our souls are rest­less till they rest in 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.

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 have loved and giv’n Your life

To end hos­ti­li­ty and strife

O share Your grace from Heav’n ab­ove

Teach us

Lord

how to love.
