God comes to us as one unheard
in silences profound,
or marvels of a symphony,
sublimity of sound.

God comes to us as one unseen
in beauties of the earth;
a seagull’s flight, a sunset sky,
the miracle of birth.

God comes to us as one unknown
to share our joys, our pain;
that presence felt, the gift of grace
our peace and hope sustain.

Teach us, O God, to recognise
your spirit everywhere;
make us aware, responsive, keen
your love for all to share.
