Father, Your love for Manmin is more than abundant.
Your heart fills the crystalline sky,
And Your breath flows across the wind.
Boundless oceans and the tallest of the mountains display Your power,
Flowers and trees of every season praise Your strength,
And the sun, the moon, and the stars sing of Your holiness.
And You have made all these for us.

Father, we thank You.
We thank You for sending to this world drenched in sin
Our Lord for Your glory and for Your name to be magnified.

As the Father is in the shepherd and as the shepherd in the Father
And as the shepherd's teary prayers move Your heart night and day,
The heavens and the earth tremble by the work of the Holy Spirit and the power of creation You pour out.

As the shepherd has overcome all paths of difficulties only by faith, goodness of his heart, and love,
Your servant has unlocked the secrets of heaven and fulfilled Your prophecies.
As Your will and plans have made home in his heart,
Your servant has proclaimed to the whole world Your glory.

Father, behold an endless throng of people coming from all nations.
Kings come forth to worship You before Your power and all peoples to the Grand Sanctuary,
And the brides of Our Lord who have been cleansed by the water of life and made innocent as doves come forth to praise the God of the shepherd.

Our Father, who has fulfilled Your Providence through the shepherd,
We thank you, and we love you.

For the Lord will come back to us soon,
When we arrive at the city You have prepared for us hand in hand with the shepherd,
We will praise Your great love before Your throne.

Clothed in fine linen and to a tune of a beautiful aroma,
Forever and ever we will worship and sing of the Father's glory.
