The thundering resonance of the Word
has liberated me while living;
Such is the service, O Lord,
rendered by Thy minister, the Saint.
How can I ever repay Thee, O my Benefactor?
Thou art my mother, Thou art my father,
Thou art my munificent Lord.
Thou hast blessed me with Thy overflowing
love within.
Through Thee have I experienced the glory
of freedom.
