- 1Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory,
- To Thee all knees are bent, all voices pray;
- Thy love has blessed the wide world’s wondrous story
- With light and life since Eden’s dawning day.
- 2O Holy Father, who hast led Thy children
- In all the ages with the fire and cloud
- Through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewild'ring;
- To Thee, in rev'rent love, our hearts are bowed.
- 3O holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Savior,
- To Thee we owe the peace that still prevails,
- Stilling the wills of rude men’s wild behavior
- And calming passion’s fierce and stormy gales.
- 4O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-giver,
- Thine is the quick'ning pow'r that gives increase;
- From Thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
- Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace.
- 5O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
- Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;
- Pray we that Thou wilt hear us, still imploring
- Thy love and favor, kept to us always.
- 6Amen.
