Father, O hear us, seeking
now to praise Thee;
Thou art our hope, our confidence,
our Saviour,
Thou art the refuge
of the generations,
Lord God almighty.
Maker of all things,
loving all Thy creatures,
God of all goodness,
infinite in mercy,
Changeless, eternal,
holiest and wisest,
Hear Thou Thy Children.
Childhood shall earn to know
Thee and revere Thee;
Manhood shall serve Thee,
strong in power and knowledge;
Old age shall trust Thee,
having felt Thy mercy,
E’en mid the shadows.
Bless Thou our purpose,
consecrate our labours,
Keep us still faithful
to the best and truest,
Guide us, protect us,
make us not unworthy
Learners of Jesus.
Glory and honour,
thanks and adoration,
Still will we bring,
O God of men and angels,
To Thee, the holy,
merciful and mighty
Father, our Father.
