O Christ, Our Teacher

This hymn by Harry Hagan, OSB has some wonderful images and thoughts to carry into prayer.  We hope it is as much a blessing to you as it is to us.

O Christ, our Teacher and our Way,

Teach us to follow you this day,

And as our hearts with love expand,

To run the way of your commands.

O Christ, our Teacher and our Light,

Illumine us with truth and right

that we may see but you alone,

And by your light and truth be known.

O Christ, our Teacher and our Life,

Teach us to reconcile all strife,

To break down each dividing wall

And live this day in peace with all.

All praise to you, O Christ, our Way

Our Truth and Life, our only Day!

All praise to you, O Christ, the Son

With Father and the Spirit:  One!  Amen.
