Father, in Your faithful love

“Father,
in Your faithful love, turn towards Japan,
in Your immense tenderness, be quick in Your mercy;
listen to the poor and the wretched;
by Your saving power, raise Japan to glorify You;
O most tender Father,
teach them from childhood Your Laws
so that they may proclaim Your marvels
and hymn to You an unceasing Hymn;

let this nation become a hymn to the Hymn,
an irresistible perfume of incense;
I pray to You, O Lord, and entreat You,
that by Your Word You may come to this nation;
amen;”
