O God, thou art the Father
Of all that have believed:
From whom all hosts of angels
Have life and power received.
O God, thou art the Maker
Of all created things,
The righteous Judge of judges,
The Almighty King of lings.
High in the heavenly Zion
Thou reignest God adored;
And in the coming glory
Thou shalt be Sovereign Lord,
Beyond our ken thou shinest,
The everlasting Light;
Ineffable in loving,
Unthinkable in might.
Thou to the meek and lowly
Thy secrets dost unfold;
O God, thou doest all things,
All things both new and old.
I walk secure and blessèd
In every clime or coast,
In Name of God the Father,
And Son, and Holy Ghost.
