Author: Alfred Edward Alston, 1862-1927 Hymnal: The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) #31 (1973) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Father most holy, merciful and loving,
Jesus, Redeemer, ever to be worshipped,
Life-giving Spirit, Comforter most gracious,
God everlasting;
2 Three in a wondrous unity unbroken,
One perfect Godhead, love that never faileth,
Light of the angels, succour of the needy,
Hope of all living;
3 All thy creation serveth its Creator;
Thee every creature praiseth without ceasing;
We too would sing the psalms of true devotion;
Hear, we beseech thee.
4 Lord God Almighty, unto thee be glory,
One in Three Persons, over all exalted;
Thine, as is meet, be honour, praise, and blessing,
Now and for ever.
Amen. Topics: Approach to God The Majesty of God Languages: English Tune Title: ISTE CONFESSOR
