Tune:	MANTON
Composer:	Jane M. Marshall, 1924-

1 Sovereign and transforming Grace,
we invoke your quickening power;
reign the spirit of this place,
bless the purpose of this hour.

2 Holy and creative Light,
we invoke your kindling ray;
dawn upon our spirit's night,
as the darkness turns to day.

3 To the anxious soul impart
hope, all other hopes above;
stir the dull and hardened heart
with a longing and a love.
