Lyics

Fa-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!
