lyrics
Our Father and our king,
Hear our voice,
We have sinned before you.
Have compassion upon us,
And upon our children.
Our Father and king,
Hear our voice.
Bring an end to pestilence,
Famine and war.
Our Father and king,
Hear our voice.
Our Father and our king,
We have sinned against you.
Our Father and our king,
Hear our voice.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heav’nly hosts;
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Eternal are thy mercies Lord,
And truth eternal is thy word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
‘Til suns shall rise and set no more.
Om, Shanti, Shanti,
May there be peace in Brahman.
May there be well-being in all,
In the water,
In the plants,
In the trees.
May there be peace in the various worlds.
Om, Shanti, Shanti,
May all become happy,
May all be free from illness,
And see what is auspicious,
And no one suffer.
Om, Shanti, Shanti,
I bear witness,
Oh my God,
And to worship Thee
I testify,
At this moment,
To my powerlessness and to Thy might,
To my poverty and to Thy wealth.
There is none other God but Thee,
The help in peril,
The self-subsisting.
God answers peace.
From Avinu Malkeina, Christian Doxology,
and Bahá’í Short Obligatory Prayer
