One thing we seek after,
O God--
to live with you, and to
be with you,
all the days of our
lives.
You have astonished us
with Jesus
and the works you have
done through him.
Without you, without
him, we are skilled
in doing evil, but do
not know how to do good.
Without you we cannot
teach others
and know not how to teach ourselves.
