<p>O boundless Wisdom, God most high,<br>
O Maker of the earth and sky,<br>
Who bid&#8217;st the parted waters flow<br>
In heaven above, on earth below.</p>
<p>The streams on earth, the clouds in heaven,<br>
By Thee their ordered bounds were given,<br>
Lest &#8217;neath the untempered fires of day<br>
The parch&egrave;d soil should waste away.
<p>E&#8217;en so on us who seek thy face<br>
Pour forth the waters of thy grace;<br>
Renew the fount of life within,<br>
And quench the wasting fires of sin.</p>
<p>Let faith discern the eternal Light<br>
Beyond the darkness of the night,<br>
And through the mists of falsehood see<br>
The path of truth revealed by Thee.</p>
<p>O Father, that we ask be done,<br>
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;<br>
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,<br>
Doth live and reign eternally.</p>
