1 To show by touch and word devotion to the earth,
to hold in high regard all life that comes to birth,
we need, O God, the will to find
the good you had of old in mind.

2 Renew our minds to choose the things that matter most,
our hearts to long for truth till pride of self is lost.
For every challenge that we face
we need your guidance and your grace.

3 Let love from day to day be yardstick, rule, and norm,
and let our lives portray your word in human form.
Now come with us that we may have
your wits about us where we live.
