Teach Me, God, to Wonder
Teach me, God, to wonder;
teach me, God, to see;
let Your world of beauty capture me.
Praise to You be given;
love for You be lived,
life be celebrated; joy You give.
Let me, God, be open;
let me loving be;
let Your world of people speak to me.
Praise to You be given;
love for You be lived,
life be celebrated; joy You give.
Let me, God, be ready;
let me be awake,
in Your world of loving,
my place take.
Praise to You be given;
love for You be lived,
life be celebrated; joy You give.
Teach me, God, to know You,
hear You when You speak,
see You in my neighbour when we meet.
Praise to You be given;
love for You be lived,
life be celebrated; joy You give.

Psalm 33
The Greatness and Goodness of God
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous.
Praise befits the upright.
2 Praise the Lord with the lyre;
make melody to Him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Sing to Him a new song;
play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
4 For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all His work is done in faithfulness.
5 He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
and all their host by the breath of His mouth.
7 He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
He put the deeps in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For He spoke, and it came to be;
He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom He has chosen as his heritage.
13 The Lord looks down from heaven;
He sees all humankind.
14 From where He sits enthroned He watches
all the inhabitants of the earth—
15 He who fashions the hearts of them all,
and observes all their deeds.
16 A king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory,
and by its great might it cannot save.
18 Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His steadfast love,
19 to deliver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and shield.
21 Our heart is glad in Him,
because we trust in His holy name.
22 Let Your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in You.
Jesu, Jesu, Fill Us with Your Love
Jesu, Jesu, fill us with Your love;
show us how to serve
the neighbours we have from You.
Kneels at the feet of His friends,
silently washes their feet,
master who acts as a slave to them.
Jesu, Jesu, fill us with Your love;
show us how to serve
the neighbours we have from You.
Neighbours are rich and poor,
varied in colour and race;
neighbours are near and far away.
Jesu, Jesu, fill us with Your love;
show us how to serve
the neighbours we have from You.
These are the ones we should serve;
these are the ones we should love;
all are neighbours to us and You.
Jesu, Jesu, fill us with Your love;
show us how to serve
the neighbours we have from You.
Kneel at the feet of our friends,
silently washing their feet;
this is the way we should live with You.
Jesu, Jesu, fill us with Your love;
show us how to serve
the neighbours we have from You.
