Maker of Man, Who from Thy Throne
VERSE 1
O praise
the Father; praise the Son,
Maker of
man, who from Thy throne
Dost
order all things, God alone;
By Whose
decree the teeming earth
To
reptile and to beast gave birth:
VERSE 2
The
mighty forms that fill the land,
Instinct
with life at Thy command,
Are
giv’n subdued to humankind
For
service in their rank assigned.
VERSE 3
From all
Thy servants drive away
Whate’er
of thought impure today
Hath
been with open action blent
Or
mingled with the heart’s intent.
VERSE 4
In
Heav’n Thine endless joys bestow,
And
grant Thy gifts of grace below;
From
chains of strife our souls release,
Bind
fast the gentle hands of peace.
VERSE 5
O
Father, that we ask be done,
Through
Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;
Who,
with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth
live and reign eternally.
