The almighty God of the universe Divine is thine name For the universe is thine abode And the realms thine foot stool Our earth thine emanations And thine kingdom thine glory
I thank thee for yesterday For it was well spent I thank thee for today For am in the present And I thank thee for tomorrow For it contains hope
Grant me ability to help Instead of been helped I seek to comfort Instead of been comforted Help me to give joy Instead of receiving joy
Let me console Instead of been consoled Make me a source of light Instead of receiver of light Let me die for Instead of been died for
To thee belongs the power And to thee belongs all the glory For to thee is the divine So mote it be Amen!
