Eternal Light

Div­in­ity

O Un­ity in Trin­ity

Thy ho­ly name Thy serv­ants bless

To Thee we pray

and Thee con­fess.

We praise the Fa­ther

migh­ty One;

We praise the sole-be­got­ten Son;

We praise the Ho­ly Ghost abo­ve

Who joins them in one bond of love.

For of the Fa­ther in­fi­nite

Begotten is the Light of light

And from His love eter­nal­ly

Proceeds the Spir­it

God most high.

None can more high or ho­ly be

Co-equal is their De­ity

The sub­stance of the Three is One

And eq­ual laud to Them is done.

The Three are one im­men­si­ty

The Three one high­est ve­ri­ty

The Three one per­fect char­ity

And they are man’s fe­li­ci­ty.

O ve­ri­ty! O char­ity!

O end­ing and fe­li­ci­ty!

In Thee we hope

in Thee be­lieve

Thyself we love

to Thee we cleave.

Thou first and last

from whom there springs

The fount of all cre­at­ed things

Thou art the life which moves the whole

Sure hope of each be­liev­ing soul.

Thou who alone the world hast made

Art still its one suf­fic­ing aid

The on­ly light for gaz­ing eyes

And

un­to them that hope

the prize.

O Fa­ther

source of God the Word

O Word with Him co-eq­ual Lord

O Spir­it of like ma­jes­ty

O tri­une God

all praise to Thee.
