Holy Father, God Almighty

Holy Fa­ther

God al­migh­ty

Holy Jes­us

God ad­ored

Holy Spir­it

God of com­fort

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly Lord!

All our prais­es rise be­fore You

God who made all that ex­ists.

As You did with an­cient of­fer­ings

Send Your Spir­it on our gifts.

You gave us Your bo­dy

Je­sus

On the night You were be­trayed—

Bread of heav­en

earth­ly feast­ing—

Sacrifice for sins now paid.

And You gave Your blood to nour­ish

Body

spir­it and the soul—

Cup of bless­ing that did heal us—

Liquid that did make us whole.

We re­call Your in­car­na­tion!

We re­call Your earth­ly life!

We re­call Your cru­ci­fix­ion

Full of ago­ny and strife!

We recall Your re­sur­rect­ion

From the grave though sealed with stone!

This Your vic­to­ry ov­er death

Lord

Gives us pro­mise for our own.

And re­call­ing Your as­cen­sion

We en­treat You and im­plore

That You soon re­turn and take us

To be with You ev­er­more!

Send Your Spir­it to be with us

As we pil­grim through this life.

Keep your church and all our loved ones

From all ev­il and all strife.

With the saints and with the an­gels

We are long­ing

Lord

to be

Where with praise and ad­or­ation

Our Re­deem­er we shall see.

Through and with and in Christ Je­sus

In the Spir­it’s uni­ty

Be all hon­or to the Fa­ther

Now and through eter­ni­ty!
