Dear Father-Mother God, one Lord,
How all-inclusive is Thy unity!
The distant stars, the undulating grain,
The endless charm and rich variety
That fill the universe, reflect but Thee;
And safe within Thy perfect love and care
Lie all the tender things we hold most dear!
Thine is the one and only law—
No power is there to thwart Thy holy will.
"Tis but the phantom of a mortal dream
Would tempt us to admit foreboding ill
Or feel that we possess, aside from Thee.
For with a heart o'erflowing with Thy praise,
We know our all belongs to Thee, O Lord!
