renewed in body, mind and soul;
with Christ we die and live again,
his selfless love has made us whole.
2 With minds alert, upheld by grace,
to spread the word in speech and deed,
we follow in the steps of Christ,
at one with all in hope and need.
3 To fill each human house with love,
it is the sacrament of care;
the work that Christ began to do
we humbly pledge ourselves to share.
4 Then give us grace, Companion-God,
to choose again the pilgrim way
and help us to accept with joy
the challenge of tomorrow's day. Languages: English Tune Title: NIAGARA
Now Let Us from This Table Rise
