1 Only-begotten, Word of God eternal,
Lord of creation, merciful and mighty,
Hear now your servants, when their tuneful voices
Rise to your presence.

2 Holy this temple where our Lord is dwelling,
This is none other than the gate of heaven;
Strangers and pilgrims, seeking homes eternal,
Pass through its portals.

3 Lord, we beseech you, as we throng your temple,
By your past blessings, by your present bounty,
Smile on your children, and with tender mercy
Hear our petitions.

4 God in Three Persons, Father everlasting,
Son co-eternal, ever-blessed Spirit:
Yours be the glory, praise and adoration,
Now and for ever.
