Father, We Praise Thee

lyricist: Gregory I (540–604)
Composer: French church melody, 1681

Father

we praise Thee

now the night is o­ver;

Active and watch­ful

stand we all be­fore Thee;

Singing

we of­fer

pray­er and me­di­ta­tion;

Thus we adore Thee.

Monarch of all things

fit us for Thy man­sions;

Banish our weak­ness

health and whole­ness send­ing;

Bring us to Heav­en

where Thy saints unit­ed

Joy with­out end­ing.

All ho­ly Fa­ther

Son and eq­ual Spir­it

Trinity bless­èd

send us Thy sal­va­tion;

Thine is the glo­ry

gleam­ing and re­sound­ing

Through all cre­ation.
