Faith That Lets Us Sing ‎#27

27. God, Who Calls Us to Be Teachers

1 God, who calls us to be teachers,
make us faithful learners too,
ever reading, thinking, growing,
keeping up with what is new.

2 New trends challenge old traditions.
Give us wisdom to discern
what is truth and what is falsehood.
Teach us, God, and help us learn.

3 Help us be creative teachers,
that the faith we love and share
may bring joy and hope to others,
precious gift beyond compare.
