1 Father most holy, merciful and tender;
Jesus our Saviour, with the Father reigning;
Spirit all-kindly, Advocate, Defender,
Light never waning;

2 Trinity sacred, Unity unshaken;
Diety perfect, giving and forgiving,
Light of the angels, Life of the forsaken,
Hope of all living. A-men.

3 Maker of all things, all thy creatures praise thee;
Lo, all things serve thee through thy whole creation:
Hear us, Almighty, hear us, as we raise thee
Heart's adoration.

4 To the all-ruling triune God be glory:
Highest and greatest, help thou our endeavor,
We too would praise thee, giving honor worthy,
Now and for ever.

Amen.
