In the world we live
In the time
In an era
In between birth and death
We strive
We believe
But wonderingWhere is the treasury
Of knowledge?
Of reason?
Of life and ideas?
Some start in the now
Rejecting the past
Believing unshakably in things that don't last
In things that don't last
Am is are was
All that has been done
Be been being
All that's yet to come
Am is are was
All that has been done
Be been being
All that's yet to come
Thy will be doneSum of all knowledge
Source of all being
In nature refined
The one and many
The votive divine
From beginning benign
Eternal design
So high and sublime
Am is are was
All that has been done
Be been being
All that's yet to come
Am is are was
All that has been done
Be been being
All that's yet to come
Thy will be doneWe don't know why
We don't know whyAm is are was
All that has been done
Be been being
All that's yet to come
Am is are was
All that has been done
Be been being
All that's yet to come
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
