Mighty Father, Blessèd Son

lyricist: John Monsell, 1857
Composer: Alfred Gaul (1837–1913)

Mighty Fa­ther

bless­èd Son

Holy Spir­it

Three in One

Ever more Thy will be done.

Threefold is Thy glo­ri­ous might

Threefold is Thy name of light

Veiled be­fore our mor­tal sight.

Threefold let our prais­es be

Great mys­te­ri­ous One

to Thee

Undivided Tri­ni­ty.

Into mys­te­ry deep­er

high­er

Thou dost aw­ful­ly re­tire

Lowliest rev­er­ence to in­spire;

That with­in the gold­en door

Sense and sight must wait be­fore

Faith may en­ter and adore:

Mystery—’tis all around;

Mystery—but ho­ly ground;

Where Thy mer­cy may be found.

O my God

mine all Thou art:

Take my whole in ev­ery part

Body

spir­it

mind and heart

Threefold is Thy love to me;

Threefold let my grac­es be

Faith and hope and char­ity.

Thus shall best Thy will be done

Mighty Fa­ther

bless­èd Son

Holy Spir­it

Three in One.
