|
<p>Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory,<br>
|
|
To Thee all knees are bent, all voices pray;<br>
|
|
Thy love has blessed the wide world’s wondrous story<br>
|
|
With light and life since Eden’s dawning day.</p>
|
|
<p>O Holy Father, Who hadst led Thy children<br>
|
|
In all the ages, with the fire and cloud,<br>
|
|
Through seas dry shod, through weary wastes bewildering;<br>
|
|
To Thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed.</p>
|
|
<p>O Holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Savior,<br>
|
|
To Thee we owe the peace that still prevails,<br>
|
|
Stilling the rude wills of men’s wild behavior,<br>
|
|
And calming passion’s fierce and stormy gales.</p>
|
|
<p>O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Lifegiver,<br>
|
|
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase;<br>
|
|
From Thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,<br>
|
|
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace.</p>
|
|
<p>O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,<br>
|
|
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;<br>
|
|
Pray we that Thou wilt hear us, still imploring<br>
|
|
Thy love and favor kept to us always.</p>
