Parent of all, Omnipotent

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Parent of all, Omnipotent I heav'n, and earth below! Through all creation's vast extent, Whose streams of goodness flow: 2 Teach me to know, from whence I rose, And unto what design'd; Nor selfish aims may I propose, Since link'd with human kind. 3 But chief to hear my country's voice May my best thoughts incline: 'Tis reason's law, 'tis virtue's choice, 'Tis nature's call, and thine. 4 Me from fair freedom's sacred cause May nothing e'er divide; Nor grandeur, gold nor vain applause, Nor friendship false misguide. 5 To duty, honour, virtue true, In all my country's weal, Let me my public walk pursue: So, God, thy favour deal! Topics: Social Duties; Virtuous love of country
