Great are You, O God, and greatly to be praised;
great is Your power, and Your wisdom infinite.
We who are but a particle of Your creation, praise You.
You awaken us to delight in Your praise;
for You made us for Yourself,
and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.

What are You then, my God?
Most high, most good, most omnipotent;
most merciful, yet most just;
most hidden, yet most present;
most beautiful, yet most strong;
stable, yet incomprehensible;
unchangeable, yet all-changing;
ever old, ever new;
supporting, filling, and overspreading;
creating, flourishing, and maturing;
seeking, yet having all things.
