<p>Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round<br>
|
|
Of circling planets singing on their way,<br>
|
|
Guide of the nations from the night profound<br>
|
|
Into the glory of the perfect day,<br>
|
|
Rule in our hearts, that we may ever be<br>
|
|
Guided and strengthened and upheld by Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>We are of Thee, the children of Thy love,<br>
|
|
The brothers of Thy well belovèd Son;<br>
|
|
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove<br>
|
|
Into our hearts, that we may be as one;<br>
|
|
As one with Thee, to Whom we ever tend;<br>
|
|
As one with Him our Brother and our Friend.</p>
|
|
<p>We would be one in hatred of all wrong,<br>
|
|
One in our love of all things sweet and fair;<br>
|
|
One with the joy that breaketh into song,<br>
|
|
One with the grief that trembleth into prayer,<br>
|
|
One in the power that makes Thy children free<br>
|
|
To follow truth, and thus to follow Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>O clothe us with Thy heavenly armor, Lord,<br>
|
|
Thy trusty shield, Thy sword of love divine;<br>
|
|
Our inspiration be Thy constant Word;<br>
|
|
We ask no victories that are not Thine;<br>
|
|
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be,<br>
|
|
Enough to know that we are serving Thee.</p>
