“Welcome doubt!”

1. Welcome doubt!  Refine our thinking,

Urge us further into light;

Lead us to a greater dawning

From the shadows of our night.

 

2. Welcome knowledge! Food for wisdom,

Leaving prejudice behind;

Pledge of science, fruit of reason,

Seeking love with all our mind.

 

3. Welcome truth!  But little caring

Whence it come, cost what it will;

Though it challenge deep conviction,

Truth shall be our focus still.

 

4. Welcome faith! Our thought transcending,

Touching mystery divine;

Joy of trusting, source of action,

Fervent hope’s courageous sign.

 

5. Welcome grace!  Without deserving,

Unexpected, pride at bay;

Spirit’s riches shower upon us

As we give our lives away.
