Father of all, and God of love,
By earth and heaven adored;
In works below, and worlds above,
The universal Lord.
What conscience dictates to be done,
or warns us not to do,
This teach us more than death to shun,
That more than life pursue.
Where we are right, thy grace impart
Still in the right to stay;
Where we are wrong, Lord, teach our heart
To fund the better way.
Save us alike from foolish pride
And impious discontent,
At aught thy wisdom hath denied,
Or aught thy goodness lent.
This day be bread and peace our lot;
All else beneath the sun,
Thou know’st if best bestowed or not,
And let thy will be done.
