  1. O God of wisdom, mind and space,
    The source of word and light;
    Be tutor to our needy souls,
    And counsellor of grace.

    Once walked on earth and sea;
    So guide our gradual step, as now
    Your Gospel truth we greet.

    Inscribe upon us what you ask,
    In letters large and true.
  4. And then O Father, Love, divine,

    To find the presence of your Son
    In broken bread, and wine.
