|
<p>Today, O Lord, a holier work<br>
|
|
Thy secret counsels frame,<br>
|
|
A king to rule Thy new made world,<br>
|
|
To praise Thy glorious Name.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou formest man: Thy Spirit breathes<br>
|
|
Life into dust of earth:<br>
|
|
Man, in Thine own true image made,<br>
|
|
From Thee receives his birth.</p>
|
|
<p>And henceforth he dominion holds<br>
|
|
O’er all in earth and sea;<br>
|
|
Yet mindful whence his being came<br>
|
|
Must humbly walk with Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Alas! his willful heart rebels<br>
|
|
Against Thy gentle sway;<br>
|
|
Proud dust of earth would fain be like<br>
|
|
The God Whom all obey.</p>
|
|
<p>O griefs and sorrows numberless,<br>
|
|
Which hence the world o’erspread;<br>
|
|
Jesu, Thy mercy succored us,<br>
|
|
Or hope itself had fled.</p>
|
|
<p>O praise the Father, and the Son<br>
|
|
Who saved us by His death,<br>
|
|
And Holy Ghost Who quickens us<br>
|
|
With His life giving breath.</p>
