Almighty Father, Who Dost Give

Almighty Father, who dost give

The gift of life to all who live,

Look down on all earth's sin and strife,

And lift us to a nobler life.

Lift up our hearts, O King of kings,

To brighter hopes and kindlier things;

To visions of a larger good,

And holier dreams of brotherhood.

Thy world is weary of its pain;

Of selfish greed and fruitless gain;

Of tarnished honor, falsely strong,

And all its ancient deeds of wrong.

Hear Thou the prayer Thy servants pray,

Uprising from all lands today,

And o'er the vanquished powers of sin,

O bring Thy great salvation in.
