O God of Life, Whose Power Benign

O God of life

whose pow­er be­nign

Doth o’er the world in mer­cy shine

Accept our praise

for we are Thine.

O Fa­ther

all-cre­at­ing Lord

Be Thou by ev­ery tongue im­plored

Be Thou by ev­ery heart ad­ored.

O Son of God

for sin­ners slain

We wor­ship Thee

whose dy­ing pain

For us did end­less life regain.

O Holy Ghost

whose guard­ian care

Doth for us heav­en­ly joys pre­pare

May we in Thy com­mun­ion share.

Father

pro­tect us here be­low;

Jesus

Thy mer­cy may we know;

O Holy Ghost

Thy pow­er be­stow.

O ho­ly

bless­èd Tri­ni­ty

With faith we sin­ners bow to Thee

In Heav­en and earth ex­alt­ed be.
