He who fills all Heaven and Earth
bore it richness where there was dearth.
To hear saints to your glory sing,
O Lord, grant me this one small thing!
He whose son died for my own sake
shall his return to this world make.
Now I wait for that day coming,
O Lord, grant me this one sure thing!
He who my solemn prayers receive,
in who I confide and believe.
Such love and grace to my heart cling,
O Lord, grant me this one dear thing!
He who foretold of toil and strife -
the promise of eternal life!
Baptism from a heavenly spring,
O Lord, grant me this one good thing!
He who raised us up from the dust,
who is merciful, wise, and just.
Peace to this world your son will bring,
O Lord, grant me this one true thing!
He whose plan is now close at hand -
his people in the Promised Land!
Hark, inside its walls the bells ring,
O Lord, grant me this one more thing!
He whose word is written in me
and whose kingdom I hope to see.
Salvation from my God and King,
O Lord, grant me this one last thing!
