O Mighty God, our Savior,

You bring good out of everything. (1)

May the good,

in our people and our ancestral customs,

draw people to greater communion in love.(2) (3)

May all creation,

visible and invisible, (4)

above the heavens, (5)

in the heavens,

in the seas,

and on the earth, (6)

praise your name for ever and ever.
