O loving Lord, who art
for ever seeking
Those of thy mind,
intent to do thy will,
Strong in thy strength,
thy power and grace bespeaking,
Faithful to thee,
through good report and ill—
To thee we come,
and humbly make confession,
Faithless so oft, in thought
and word and deed,
Asking that we may have,
in true possession,
Thy free forgiveness
in the hour of need.
In duties small be
thou our inspiration,
In large affairs
endue us with thy might;
Through faithful service
cometh full salvation;
So may we serve,
thy will our chief delight,
Not disobedient to
the heavenly vision,
Faithful in all things,
seeking not reward;
Then, following thee,
may we fulfil our mission,
True to ourselves, our neighbours,
and our Lord.
---Alternative verses---
O loving Lord, who art
for ever seeking
Men of thy mind,
intent to do thy will,
Strong in thy strength,
thy power and grace bespeaking,
Faithful to thee,
through good report and ill—
