Mighty One, Before Whose Face

Mighty One

before whose face

Wisdom had her glo­ri­ous seat

When the orbs that peo­ple space

Sprang to earth be­neath Thy feet.

Source of truth

whose beams alone

Light the migh­ty world with mind:

God of love

who from Thy throne

Kindly watch­est all man­kind;

Shed on those who in Thy name

Teach the way of truth and right

Shed that love’s un­dy­ing flame

Shed that wis­dom’s guid­ing light.
