Ama naming Lumikha,
naririto na naman po kami sa Inyong harapan
magkakasamang nagpupuri sa Inyong kadakilaan
na nasasalamin namin sa lahat ng Iyong mga likha
itinataas namin ang aming mga sarili
bilang iyong mga abang tigapaglingkod
isinasamo naming linisin mo ang aming mga puso
upang maging bukas kami sa tinig mo at makasunod
nagpapasalamat din po kami sa lahat ng Iyong mga biyaya
ngayon pa lamang ay nag-uumapaw na po ang aming kaligayahan
dahil sa ibinigay mo sa aming pagkakataon upang kami'y magkasama-sama
sa iisang bubong ng Iskawting bilang magkakapatid sa Iyong kabanalan
Itinataas namin ang lahat ng aming mga alalahanin:
Ang aming mga mahal sa buhay na pansamantalang iniwan namin
Sa iyong mga mahabaging kamay ay ipinagkakatiwala namin sila
Lakip ang lahat ng mga biyayang sa iyo nagmula at sa iyo rin ay aming inaalay
Pagpalain Mo po nawa kami aming Panginoon
Sa bawat araw nawa'y manatili ang Iyong Ispiritu sa aming piling
Turuan mo kaming makita Ka namin sa bawat isa
Dahil sa pag-ibig Mo lamang makakapaglingkod kami sa aming kapwa.
Turuan mo kaming umibig at magpatawad ng wagas
Upang mapuno namin ng pag-ibig ang aming mundong ginagalawan
Nawa'y mangyari ang kalooban Mo, O Panginoon, sa amin
Upang ang kapayapaan Mo ay ganap na mapasaamin. Amen.

Scouts' Prayer
(translated on January 12, 2015)
Our heavenly Father who created us all
Once again, we are gathered here in your Divine Presence
Together, we give You praise for all Your glory
That is reflected through all of Your creations which is the work of Your divine hands.
We lift to You, dear God, all of our self
Accept us as your children and bless us as Your servants
We ask You to teach our hearts to love and to purify our minds
So that we can hear Your voice clearly for us to obey Your words.
We are so thankful for all of the graces You have given us
There is no perfect word that can best express the deep joy we feel
Because of the countless chances You have given us
For us to be gathered together, here again
As brothers (and sisters) under the one banner of Scouting.
We lift to You, O God, all of our worries--
(Specially, our beloved ones who we left back in our homes
and who are waiting for our safe return)
We ask You to take care of them while we not yet with them
We lay them all in Your merciful and loving hands
Together will all the gifts You have given us that we are offering back to You.
May You always bless us, our dear God
May Your Holy Spirit be with us in every moment of our lives
Teach us to see and appreciate You in the presence of one another
For only through Your divine inspiration
We could truly love and serve wholeheartedly those who are in need.
Teach us, O Lord, to love and to forgive
So that we can start to change the world we are living
May Your will be done unto us, O God
Make us all your instrument of PEACE! Amen.
