Representative Text

1 நித்யப்பிதாவே உம்மையே,
நோக்கி யாம் வந்தோமே,
உம் கண்கள் காணும் எம் தேவை,
உம் கரம் ஈயுமே,

2 பயமும் பக்தியும் எம் நெஞ்சில்,
உம் அன்பு நடத்தவே,
வீண் மாயை யாவும் நீக்கியே,
எம் பயம் போக்குமே.

3 எம் ஆசையல்ல தேவையே,
உம் கிருபை தந்திடும்,
தயவாய் தெளிவாய் தாருமே,
தீமையன்றி நன்மை.ஆமேன்
