King of the nations, just and true,
and God of our lives, we pray to you.
By day command your steadfast love,
and at night may your song be with us.
The suffering we endure does not depend
on how much sin we’ve committed,
nor do silver and gold prevent it;
by your grace we’re forgiven.
Great and amazing are your deeds;
great and amazing is your mercy;
you are great and amazing,
O God of our lives.
