Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 25:4-5 Lyrics: Like ancient people on a questto find a vision clear,we come, Great Spirit, now to seekyour will and blessing here.Grant us your wisdom to discernthe right path from the wrong,to choose the way you set for us,though it be hard and long.We ask for courage to acceptthe things we cannot change,to be responsive to new tasksso difficult and strange.We pray for generosity,a willingness to shareall that we have with gratitudefor your kind love and care.Great Spirit, God, Wakantanka, we send these prayers on high,like smoke from sweet grass rises upor eagles mount the sky.Like you, may we respect the earth,the air, the sky, the sea,and treat each living thing as onewith our own family.
