Great God of heaven and earth,
Pour out upon us grace and mercy;
You created us in Your perfect image.
Protect us, then, from death and suffering.
Eternal Father of all mankind,
Without distinction of language or colour,
Breathe into our hearts and souls
That love which exists between brother and sister.
Moïse-Oriand Nkoghe-Mvé (1934 - 2000) Gabon
