Lord of Power, Lord of Might

lyricist: Godfrey Thring, 1862
Composer: Arthur Sullivan, 1867

Lord of pow­er

Lord of might;

God and Fa­ther of us all;

Lord of day

and Lord of night

Listen to our so­lemn call:

Listen

whilst to Thee we raise

Songs of pray­er

and songs of praise.

Light

and love

and life are Thine

Great Cre­at­or of all good;

Fill our souls with light di­vine:

Give us with our dai­ly food

Blessings from Thy heav­en­ly store

Blessings rich for­ev­er­more.

Graft with­in our heart of hearts

Love un­dy­ing for Thy name;

Bid us ere the day de­parts

Spread afar our mak­er’s fame;

Young and old to­ge­ther bless

Clothe our souls with right­eous­ness.

Full of years and full of peace

May our life on earth be blest;

When our tri­als here shall cease

And at last we sink to rest

Fountain of eter­nal love

Call us to our home ab­ove.
