O God, who canst not change nor fail, + 

Guiding the hours, as they roll by, + 

Bright’ning with beams the morning pale, + 

And burning in the mid-day sky, + 

Quench Thou the fires of hate and strife, + 

The wasting fever of the heart; + 

From perils guard our feeble life, + 

And to our souls Thy peace impart. + 

Grant this, O Father, Only Son, + 

And Holy Spirit, God of grace, + 

To whom all glory, Three in One, + 

Be given in every time and place. + 
