PRZED TRON TWOJ (AT THY THRONE)
(see octavo CQ2309)

Przed tron Twoj, wielki Boze, modly Twe dzieci wznosza i w wiernych serc pokorze czesc Tobie wieczna glosza. W stworzeniu kazdem Twojem brzmi glos dziekczynien i chwaly, Ty lask najwiekszym zdrojem otaczasz swiat Twoj caly. O Boze nie karz srodze przewinien Twoich dzieci, po ostrej zycia drodze niech nam Twa laska swieci. A gdy doswiadczen proby slaby nasz duch obarcza. O, niech od wiecznej zguby Twa wiara bedzie tarcza.*

At thy throne we bow, Almighty God. We thy children kneel in pray'r, and thine eternal honor with loyal hearts proclaim there. For all of thy creation rings out in praise and thanksgiving, thine overflowing mercy surrounds the whole world living. O Lord, strike not thy children, Spare us, forgive our transgression, may thy mercy shine on our journey, O hear now our confession. On the day when heavy trials our weakened spirits burden, O, come what may, thy faithfulness shall be our shield and guerdon.**
