Representative Text

1 Maker of all things,
Author of light,
King over all things,
Matchless in might.
Lord! ever near us,
Teach us Thy way;
Hear us! oh, hear us,
When we pray.

2 Mercies unceasing
Flow unto us;
Praises and blessing
We offer thus.
Lord, ever near us,
Teach us Thy way;
Hear us! oh, hear us,
When we pray.

3 On Thee depending,
Grant us to be
In bliss unending,
Father, with Thee.
Lord, ever near us
Giver of grace,
Hear us! oh, hear us,
In prayer and praise.

Amen.
