THE FATHER

The splendor of Your Majesty
reigns down from sea to sea,
from all that’s far away and near
on all, Your glory be.

All that You’ve made, was out of love
for man the beauty given,
so we can live within Your Grace
and take our place in heaven.

You gave us laws to follow
they are for our own good,
to imitate Your holiness
to love the way we should.

A loving Father always
You wait for us to choose,
the way to peace and happiness
Your Word our earthly clues.

We thank You for Your patience
for the beauty all around,
we thank You for Your endless love
that from infinity abounds.
