1. Father all loving, who rulest in majesty,

judgement is thine, and condemneth our pride;

stir up our leaders and peoples to penitence,

sorrow for sins that for vengeance have cried.

2. Blessed Lord Jesus, who camest in poverty,

sharing a stable with beasts at thy birth,

stir us to work for thy justice and charity,

truly to care for the poor of the earth.

3. Come, Holy Spirit, create in us holiness,

lift up our lives to thy standard of right;

stir every will to new ventures of faithfulness,

flood the whole Church with thy glorious light.

4. Holiest Trinity, perfect in unity,

bind in thy love every nation and race;

may we adore thee for time and eternity,

Father, Redeemer, and Spirit of grace.
