Lyics

Father of Spirits! humbly bent before thee,

Songs of glad homage unto thee we bring;

Touched by thy Spirit, O teach us to adore thee;

Let thy light attend us,

Let thy love befriend us,

Father of our spirits, Everlasting King!



Send forth thy mandate, gather in the nations,

Through the wide universe thy name be known,

Millinos of voices shall join in adorations,

Every soul invited,

Every voice united,

Joining to adore thee, Everlasting One!
