Father all bountiful, in mercy bear / With this our universal voice of prayer -- / The voice that needs must be / Upraised in thanks to Thee, / O Father, from Thy children everywhere.
A multitudinous voice, wherein we fain / Wouldst have Thee hear no lightest sob of pain -- / No murmur of distress, / Nor moan of loneliness, / Nor drip of tears, though soft as summer rain.
