Ancient of Ages! humbly bent before Thee,
Songs of glad homage, Lord! to Thee we bring:
Touched by thy spirit, oh! teach us to adore Thee,
Sole God and Father! Everlasting King!
Let Thy light attend us,
Let Thy grace befriend us,
Eternal, Unrivalled, All-directing King!
Send forth Thy mandate, gather in the nations,
Through the wide universe Thy name be known:
Millions of voices shall join in adorations,
Join to adore Thee, Undivided One!
Every soul invited,
Every voice united,
United to praise Thee, Undivided One!
(John Bowring)
