Holy Wisdom, Lamp of Learning
Bless the light that reason lends.
Teach us judgment as we kindle
Sparks of thought your Spirit sends.
Sanctify our search for knowledge
And the truth that sets us free.
Come, illumine mind and spirit
Joined in deepest unity.
Vine of truth, in you we flourish;
By your grace we learn and grow.
May the word of Christ among us
Shape our life, our search to know.
Joined to Christ in living, dying,
May we help the church convey
Witness to the saving gospel,
Bearing fruit of faith today.
Holy God, the hope of nations,
Tune us toward your righteous will,
As the symphony of ages
Claims our best, our finest skill.
Shape our search for peace and justice
Through prophetic deed and word.
Christ, conduct us, set our rhythm,
That God’s praise be ever heard.
