Renew Thy Church Her Ministries Restore – Hymn Lyric
Renew your church, our ministries restore:
Both to serve and adore.
Make us again as salt throughout the land,
And as light from a stand.
‘Mid somber shadows of the night,
Where greed and hatreds spread their blight,
O send us forth with power endued,
Help us, Lord, be renewed.
Teach us your Word, reveal its truth divine,
On our path let it shine;
Tell of your works, your mighty acts of grace,
From each page show your face.
As you have loved us, sent your Son,
And our salvation now is won,
O let our hearts with love be stirred,
Help us, Lord, know your Word.
Teach us to pray, for you are ever near,
Your still voice let us hear.
Our souls are restless till they rest in you,
This the goal we pursue.
Before your presence keep us still
That we may find for us your will,
And seek your guidance every day,
Teach us, Lord, how to pray.
Teach us to love, with strength of heart and mind,
Each and all, humankind;
Break down old walls of prejudice and hate,
Leave us not to our fate.
As you have loved and given your life
To end hostility and strife,
O share your grace from heaven above,
Teach us, Lord, how to love.

Our guide is not a mere path laid out by mortal hands, but a sacred call that invites us to deepen our connection with ourselves, with each other, and with the divine wisdom that flows through all of life.

“Make us again as salt throughout the land, and as light from a stand.” Are we not reminded here of our purpose? We are called to be salt, preserving the goodness and bringing flavor to the lives that touch ours. We are to be light, piercing through the darkness with hope and compassion. In times of somber shadows, where greed and hatred spread their blight, we are asked to step forward, to be catalysts of renewal and beacons of unyielding goodness.

We pray for the power to be renewed, for it is this divine power that transforms our human frailties into sources of strength and resilience.

“Teach us your Word, reveal its truth divine, on our path let it shine.” Through this illumination, we glimpse the wondrous acts of grace that permeate every page of sacred wisdom. Each word is a whisper of divine love, each teaching a hand extended from the heavens, inviting us to a closer communion with the truth that we are eternally loved and infinitely valuable.
