LyicsFa-ther of spir-its! humbly bent be-fore thee,
Songs of glad hom-age un-to thee we bring;
Touched by the Spir-it, oh, teach us to a-dore thee;
Let thy light at-tend us,
Let thy love be-friend us,
Fa-ther of our spir-its,
Ev-er-last-ing King!
Send forth thy man-date, gath-er in the na-tions,
Thro' the wide u-ni-verse thy name be known,
Mil-lions of voic-es shall join in a-do-ra-tions,
Ev-ery soul in-vi-ted,
Ev-ery voice u-nit-ed,
Joining to a-dore the
Ev-er-last-ing One!
