answer in love your children's supplication;
Hear now our prayer, the spoken and unspoken;
hear us, Eternal God.

to pastures green beside the peaceful waters;
Most tender guide, in ways of cheerful duty
lead us, good Shepherd.

no space can part, nor hour of time remove us;
Give us your good, and save us from our evil,
