1 Parent of Good, Thy genial ray
Thou dost on all impartial pour;
On all who hate or bless Thy sway
Thou bidds't descend the fruitful shower.
2 In Thee we live, and move, and are;
Thy flowing life doth all sustain;
E'en those Thy daily favours share,
Who, thankless, spurn Thine easy reign.
3 To Thy benign, indulgent care,
Father, this light, this breath we owe;
And all we have, and all we are,
From Thee, great source of being, flow.
4 Thrice Holy Thine the kingdom is,
The power and glory all are Thine,
Thou only Good, Thou only Wise,
In all Thy works Thy mercies shine.
