Hail Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Hail! Fa­ther

Son and Ho­ly Ghost

One God

in Per­sons Three!

Of Thee we make our joy­ful boast

Our songs we make of Thee.

Thou nei­ther canst be felt nor seen

Thou art a Spir­it pure;

Thou from eter­ni­ty hast been

And al­ways shalt en­dure.

Present alike in ev­ery place

Thy God­head we adore;

Beyond the bounds of time and space

Thou dwell’st for ev­er­more.

In wis­dom in­fi­nite Thou art

Thine eye doth all things see;

And ev­ery thought of ev­ery heart

Is ful­ly known to thee.

Thou lov’st what­e’er Thy hands have made;

Thy good­ness we re­hearse

In shin­ing char­ac­ters dis­played

Throughout our uni­verse.

Mercy

with love and end­less grace

O’er all Thy works doth reign;

But mostly Thou de­light’st to bless

Thy fa­vo­rite creature

Man.

Wherefore

let ev­ery crea­ture give

To Thee the praise de­signed;

But chief­ly

Lord

the thanks re­ceive

The hearts of all man­kind.
