First lines
Oh, thou omniscient, omnipresent Lord! / Invisible, eternal God of all! / The vast creation trembles at thy word, / And at thy footstool nations prostrate fall.
Thy throne is fixed above the starry frame; / Yet thou in earthly temples lov'st to dwell; / The humble spirit thou wilt not disdain, / The wounded heart thy balm divine dost heal.
Father, we humbly supplicate thy grace, / May thy benignant smile on us be given, / Thy blessing rest upon this sacred place, / Thine earthly house, we trust, the gate of heaven.
Here will we listen to thy holy word; / Light on our path, thus, may its precepts be; / Here shall the voice of praise and prayer be heard- / Ourselves, our all, we dedicate to thee.
