Holy Presence, Holy Teacher
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #283 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Celebrating Grace Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Holy Presence, Holy Teacher,
Light illumining our lives,
in the compass of Your wisdom
all our work and worship thrives:
lead us when we sense Your calling
till we find our chosen field,
following Your hand's direction,
honoring Your truth revealed.
2 By our nurture, by our culture
every life is shaped to grow,
fed by long tradition's learning,
formed by mentors as we go;
tune our ears to hear the gospel
questioning accepted thought,
ready to respect each other,
see the gifts that each has brought.
3 Yours the world of power and beauty,
ours the task to tend its needs,
day by day in cheerful service
growing faith like mustard seeds,
striving in unlikely places,
standing where indeed we must,
acting from compelling conscience,
working for what's fair and just.
4 God, we pray for understanding
in our study, in our goals,
charges that will change and challenge,
vision to inspire our souls,
that this place for mind's reflection,
faith examined, word addressed,
be a witness to Your teaching,
and our faithful search be blessed.
