1 Eternal Father, God of love,
Creator of the universe,
Pour out thy Spirit from above
As from thy temple we disperse.

2 Keep thou our lips, that all we say
May honor thee, our God and King;
That our example day by day
May teach the sacred truths we sing.

3 Direct our wayward steps aright,
Our Guide and Guard forever be;
In thine eternal arms of might
Infold and draw us nearer thee.
