Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: God our Maker, whose first summons
formed the realms of day and night,
still you speak amid our chaos,
calling us to the truth and right.
When our doubts and fears confound us,
give us faith to bear your light;
give us faith to bear your light.
God the Spirit, breathe upon us,
with new life our souls excite;
let your flame break out among us;
help us claim your urgent might.
With your guarding,guiding presence,
give us hope to bear your light;
give us hope to bear your light.
God incarnate, suffering servant,
sharing in our human plight,
teaching, healing, feeding,
seeking, ever ready to invite;
by your pattern of compassion,
give us grace to bear your light;
give us grace to bear your light.
Triune God, enfolding Mystery
greater than our creeds recite,
join our lives in faith and service,
let our words and deeds unite;
to a world that longs to know you,
give us grace to bear your light;
give us grace to bear your light. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
