father we praise thee

father, we praise thee, now the night is over;
active and watchful, stand we all before thee;
singing, we offer, prayer and meditation;
thus we adore thee.

monarch of all things, fit us for thy mansions;
banish our weakness, health and wholeness sending;
bring us to heaven, where thy saints united
joy without ending.

all holy father, son and equal spirit,
trinity blessèd, send us thy salvation;
thine is the glory, gleaming and resounding
through all creation.
