Father divine! Before thy view
All worlds, all creatures lie;
No distance can elude thy search,
No action ‘scape thine eye.
From thee our vital breath we drew;
our childhood was thy care;
And vigorous youth and feeble age
Thy kind protection share.
Whate’er we do, where’er we turn,
Thy ceaseless bounty flows;
Oppressed with woe, when nature faints,
Thine arm is our repose.
The thee we look, thou Power Supreme
O still our wants supply!
Safe in thy presence may we live,
And in thy favour die.
