My Favorite Hymn, Wake Now My Senses

I want to thank Thomas J.S. Mikelson, a retired faculty member from the Harvard School of Divinity, for these words:

Wake now my senses and hear the earth call ,
feel the deep power of being in all,
keep with the web of creation your vow,
giving receiving as love shows us how.

Wake now my reason, reach out to the new,
honor the beauty and wisdom of time
suffer thy limit and praise the sublime.

Wake now compassion, give heed to the cry,
voices of suffering fill the wide sky,
take as your neighbor, both stranger and friend,
praying and striving their hardship to end.

Wake now my conscience,with justice thy guide;
join with all people whose rights are denied;
take not for granted a privileged place;
God's love embraces the whole human race.

Wake now my vision of ministry clear;
brighten my pathway with radiance here;
mingle my calling with all who will share;
work toward a planet transformed by our care.
