Renewed in body, mind, and soul;
With Christ we die and live again,
His selfless love has made us whole.
2 With minds alert, upheld by grace,
To spread the word in speech and deed,
We follow in the steps of Christ,
At one with all in hope and need.
3 To fill each human house with love,
It is the sacrament of care;
The work that Christ began to do,
We humbly pledge ourselves to share.
4 Then grant us courage Father God,
To choose again the pilgrim way,
And help us to accept with joy
The challenge of tomorrow's day.
