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.
