Text: | Fifth command |
1 Great source of order, Maker wise!
Whose throne is high above the skies;
We praise thy name; thy laws ordain,
That order shall on earth obtain.
2 Let each inferior rank revere
All such as their superiors are;
And let superiors also do
What's right by each inferior too.
3 To thee may each united house,
At morn and night present its vows;
O may each family proclaim
The honours of thy glorious name.
