GOD.
God of seasons, God of prayer,
God of heaven, earth and air,
Thou from whom our blessings flow,
While we linger here below,
May we ever worship Thee,
With solemn, deep humility;
May gratitude's undying flame,
Unite with our Redeemer's name.

God of day and God of night,
God of life and God of light;
Thou who art enthroned above,
God of mercy and of love,
Be pleased to lend a listening ear,
To all thy humble suppliants here;
'T is thou alone can grace impart,
To those who pray with fervent heart.

God of judgment, God of death,
Eternal source of every breath;
Thy veiled, yet thy all-seeing eye,
Each mortal's inmost thoughts descry;
And with a lenient look doth view
Our errors and our foibles too;
Though erring, we would humbly flee,
And dwell forever, God, with thee.
