O Lord bless thy most beloved one
The one for whom the world was formed
By him thy perfect will was done
And mercy's name ever adorned

Lord bless the one who gazed upon
Thy most majestic countenance
For he and he alone was drawn
Into thy most sacred presence

O Lord bless the master of virtue
The chosen one who did perfect
All meaning of the good and true
And all error did he correct

Lord bless the cause of day and night
The only man without shadow
Thou mad'st creation from his light
From him do stars derive their glow

O Lord though I be a wretched fool
E’er made blind by pride and vanity
Yet thou hast called my soul a jewel
And graced it with thy verity

Lord bless the guide of this lost soul
Whose might and mercy never fail
To save this wretch and make him whole
And may his flag of truth prevail
