1 Only-begotten, Word of God eternal,
Lord of creation, merciful and mighty:
Hear us, your servants, as our tuneful voices
Rise in your presence.

2 Holy this temple where our Lord is dwelling;
This is none other than the gate of heaven.
Ever your children, year by year rejoicing,
Chant in your temple.

3 Hear us, O Father, as we throng your temple.
By your past blessings, by your present bounty,
Smile on your children, and in grace and mercy
Hear our petition.

4 God in three Persons, Father everlasting,
Son co-eternal, ever blessed Spirit:
To you be praises, thanks, and adoration,
Glory forever.
