Father, who on us do shower
Gifts
of plenty from Your dower,
To
Your people give the power
All
Your gifts to use a ring.
2
Give
pure happiness in leisure
Temperance
in every pleasure,
Wholesome
use of earthly treasure
Bodies
clean and spirits bright.
3
Lift
from this and every nation
All
that brings us degradation;
Quell
the forces of temptation,
Put
Your enemies to flight.
4
Father,
You who sought and found us,
Son
of God, whose love has bound us,
Holy
Spirit, in us, round us,
Hear
us, God head infinite.
