Father of spirits, grant that we
May more and more resemble thee;
Daily from strength to strength proceed,
Christians in name and so indeed.
In our whole lives may we express,
The truth and energy of grace;
A lively faith a humble fear,
And be in truth what we appear.
By our exact obedience show,
What we do thy rich mercy owe;
And thus a bright example give,
To teach the world how they should live.
Not tire nor stop, but still press on,
To finish well the course begun;
And then receive the great reward,
For such and only such prepared.
