God of the Strong, God of the Weak

God of the strong

God of the weak

Lord of all lands and our own land;

Light of all souls

from Thee we seek

Light from Thy light

strength from Thy hand.

In suf­fer­ing Thou hast made us one

In migh­ty bur­dens one are we:

Teach us that low­li­est du­ty done

Is high­est serv­ice un­to Thee.

Teach us

great Teach­er of man­kind

The sac­ri­fice that brings Thy balm;

The love

the work that bless and bind;

Teach us Thy ma­jes­ty

Thy calm.

Teach Thou

and we shall know in­deed

The truth di­vine that mak­eth free;

And know­ing

we may sow the seed

That blos­soms through eter­ni­ty.
