1 Lord of all being, throned afar,
your glory flames from sun and star;
center and soul of ev'ry sphere,
yet to each loving heart how near!

2 Lord of all life, below, above,
whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
before your ever-blazing throne
we ask no luster of our own.

3 Grant us your truth, your freedom give,
that hearts for you might solely live
till all your living altars claim
one holy light, one heav'nly flame!
