Father, Mother, helper, Lord, Friend,
You alone, our only Master, attend.
Father, Mother, helper, Lord, Friend,
You alone, our only Master, transcend.
For those who have no other ground,
You are the guardian, safe and sound.
Father, Mother, helper, Lord, Friend,
You alone, our only Master, extend.
In every way, always the joy,
Destroyer of sorrow, without alloy.
Nurture all,
Nurture the world, encompass all,
With overflowing compassion, deploy.
Father, Mother, helper, Lord, Friend,
You alone, our only Master, employ.
Blessed abode, home of love and peace,
Illuminator of the heart's release.
You are the life of this fleeting breath,
Beloved of these souls, escaping death.
Beloved of these souls, beyond death.
You, O Lord, are found, proclaimed, and seen,
What other refuge could there be, convene?
Father, Mother, helper, Lord, Friend,
You alone, our only Master, convene.
Father, Mother, helper, Lord, Friend.
