Lord of light, Whose Name
shines brighter
Than all stars and suns of space,
Deign to make us Your coworkers
In the kingdom of Your grace;
Use us to fulfill Your purpose
In the gift of Christ Your Son.
Father, as in highest heaven
So on earth Your will be done.
By the toil of lowly workers
In some far outlying field;
By the courage
where the radiance
Of the cross is still revealed;
By the victories of meekness,
Through reproach
and suffering won.
Father, as in highest heaven
So on earth Your will be done.
Grant that knowledge,
still increasing,
At Your feet may lowly kneel;
With Your grace our triumphs hallow,
With Your charity our zeal;
Lift the nations from the shadows
To the gladness of the sun.
Father, as in highest heaven
So on earth Your will be done.
By the prayers
of faithful watchers,
Never silent day or night;
By the cross of Jesus bringing
Peace to men, and healing light;
By the love that passes knowledge,
Making all Your children one.
Father, as in highest heaven
So on earth Your will be done.
