Lord Almighty, Who hast formed us weak,With us whom Thou hast formed deal fatherly;Be found of us whom Thou hast deigned to seek,Be found that we the more may seek for Thee;Lord, speak and grant us ears to hear Thee speakLord, come to us and grant us eyes to see;Lord, make us meek, for Thou Thyself art meek;Lord, Thou art Love, fill us with charity.O Thou the Life of living and of dead,Who givest more the more Thyself hast given,Suffice us as Thy saints Thou hast sufficed;That beautified, replenished, comforted,Still gazing off from earth and up at heavenWe may pursue Thy steps, Lord Jesus Christ.
