God the Father, God the Son

lyricist: Anonymous
Composer: William Monk (1823–1889)

God the Fa­ther

God the Son

God the Spir­it

Three in One

Hear us from Thy heav­en­ly throne

Spare us

Ho­ly Tri­ni­ty.

Jesu

life of those who die

Advocate with God on high

Hope of im­mor­tal­ity

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

Thou whose death to mor­tals gave

Power to tri­umph o’er the grave

Living now from death to save

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

Thou be­fore whose great white throne

All our do­ings must be shown

Pleading now for us Thine own

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

Thou whose death was borne that we

From the pow­er of Sa­tan free

Might not die eter­nal­ly

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

Thou who dost a place pre­pare

That in heav­en­ly man­sions fair

Sinners may Thy glo­ry share

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

We are dy­ing day by day

Soon from earth we pass away;

Lord of Life

to Thee we pray:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

Ere we hear the an­gel’s call

And the sha­dows round us fall

Be our Sav­ior

be our all;

Hear us

holy Je­su.

Wean our hearts from things be­low

Make us all Thy love to know

Guard from our ghost­ly foe:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

Shelter us with an­gel’s wing

To our souls Thy par­don bring;

So shall death have lost its sting:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

In the gloom Thy light pro­vide;

Safely through the val­ley guide;

Thee we trust

for Thou hast died;

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

When Thy sum­mons we ob­ey

On the dread­ful Judg­ment Day

Let not fear our souls dis­may:

Hear us

holy Je­su.

While the lost in ter­ror fly

May we see with joy­ful eye

Our re­demp­tion draw­ing nigh:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

May we see Thee on Thy throne

As the Sav­ior we have known

And have fol­lowed as our own:

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

May we then

among the blest

Who Thy name on earth con­fessed

Hear Thee call­ing us to rest

Hear us

ho­ly Je­su.

From the aw­ful place of doom

Where in ray­less out­er gloom

Dead souls lie as in a tomb

Save us

ho­ly Je­su.

From the black

the dull des­pair

Ruined men and an­gels share

From the dread com­pan­ions there

Save us

holy Je­su.

From the un­known ago­nies

Of the soul that help­less lies

From the worm that nev­er dies

Save us

ho­ly Je­su.

From the lusts that none can tame

From the fierce mys­ter­ious flame

From the ev­er­last­ing shame

Save us

ho­ly Je­su.

Where Thy saints in glo­ry reign

Free from sor­row

free from pain

Pure from ev­ery guil­ty stain

Bring us

ho­ly Je­su.

Where the cap­tives find re­lease

Where all foes from troub­ling cease

Where the wea­ry rest in peace

Bring us

ho­ly Je­su.

Where the plea­sures nev­er cloy

Where in an­gels’ ho­ly joy

Thy re­deemed their pow­ers em­ploy

Bring us

ho­ly Je­su.

Where in won­drous light are shown

All Thy deal­ings with Thine own

Who shall know as they are known

Bring us

ho­ly Je­su.

Where

with loved ones gone be­fore

We may love Thee and ad­ore

In Thy pre­sence ev­er­more

Bring us

ho­ly Je­su.
