But if salt has lost its taste, and the light its fuel, and the city shuts its gates, whence can come renewal? 2 All in their own place receive Gospel, guidance, duty: daily bread and daily work toward the kingdom's beauty. Yet the world's distracting scene mocks our lofty vision. Life's complexities confuse conscience and decision. 3 Men dispute and nations fight each all virtue claiming; your disciple errs and falls false opinion framing. Judge me, Lord, and plead my cause, light and truth now send me; lead me in your righteousness, chasten and befriend me. Scripture: Matthew 5:13-16 Used With Tune: SU-KONG-PAN
