1 Father most holy, merciful, and tender;
Jesus, our Savior, with the Father reigning;
Spirit of comfort, Advocate, Defender,
Light never waning;
2 Trinity sacred, Unity unshaken;
Deity perfect, giving and forgiving;
Light of the angels, Light of the forsaken;
Hope of all living;
3 Maker of all things, all Your creatures praise You;
All for Your worship were and are created.
Hear us, Almighty, hear us as we give You
Our adoration.
4 To the all-ruling triune God be glory,
Highest and greatest, over all exalted;
We, too, would praise You, giving honor to You
Now and forever.
