It Is God's Grace That Feeds Us

Hymn of praise for use any time, communion, Thanksgiving

We Pray This Blessed Morning

We pray this blessed morning till
our circle is a sacred space,
our church the summit of a hill
above a land where, by your grace
roll fertile fields of corn and wheat,
and once again from them we learn
that though we work for what we eat
its nourishment we cannot earn.

REFRAIN
It is your grace that feeds us
and gives us strength and ease;
your light, O God, that leads us
to love and joy and peace.

Our knowledge is uncertain, thus
we pray for each decision made,
that you, God, will enlighten us
and what lies dark illuminate.
For you can see around the bend,
beyond the scope of sound and sight,
while we are blind to consequence
like searchers on a moonless night.

REFRAIN

No medicine that we invent
can promise that we shall be well
nor can it, less divine consent,
restore the hope of life and health.
Prayers from the heart we offer then
in faith for others and ourselves.
In meditation, we breathe in
the spirit of Emmanuel.

REFRAIN

Upon this hill we wait for dawn,
its promise seen, however faint,
in broken darkness now upon
the eastern sky, where angels paint
in colors ever warmer, streaks
of yellow, lavender, and red.
Now by your artistry made meek,
we humbly break our morning bread.

REFRAIN
