1. Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory, To Thee all knees are bent, all voices pray; Thy love has blessed the wide world’s wondrous story With light and life since Eden’s dawning day.

2. O Holy Father, who hast led Thy children In all the ages as with fire and cloud, Thro' seas dry-shod, thro' weary wastes bewild'ring, To Thee, in rev'rent love our hearts are bowed.

3. O holy God, with heart and voice adoring, Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days; Pray we that Thou wilt hear us, still imploring Thy love and favor, kept to us always.
