1 Father God, on us You shower
gifts of plenty from Your dower,
to Your people give the power
all Your gifts to use aright.

2 Give pure happiness in leisure,
temperance in every pleasure,
holy use of earthly treasure,
bodies clear and spirits bright.

3 Lift from this and every nation
all that brings us degradation;
quell the forces of temptation;
put Your enemies to flight.

4 Be with us, Your strength supplying,
that with energy undying,
every foe of man defying,
we may rally to the fight.

5 Lord, You are our Captain ever,
lead us on to great endeavour;
may Your Church the world deliver:
give us wisdom, courage, might.

6 Father, You have sought and found us,
Son of God, Your love has bound us,
Holy Ghost, within us, round us —
Hear us Godhead infinite.
