Hymn

Father of Heaven, Whose Love Profound

Metre 8.8.8.8

Father of all, whose love profound

A ransom for our souls hath found,

Before thy throne we sinners bend;

To us thy pard'ning love extend.

Almighty Son, Incarnate Word,

Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,

Before thy throne we sinners bend;

To us thy saving grace extend.

Eternal Spirit, by whose breath

The soul is raised from sin and death,

Before thy throne we sinners bend;

To us thy quickening power extend.

Jehovah, Father, Spirit, Son!

Mysterious Godhead, Three in One!

Before thy throne we sinners bend;

Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.

Amen.

To the blessed Trinity.

Thee, apostles, prophets, thee,

Thee, the noble martyr band,

Praise with solemn jubilee,

Thee, the Church in every land;

Singing everlastingly,

To the blessed Trinity.

Alleluia! Lord, to thee,

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

Three in One, and One in Three,

Join we with the heavenly host,

Singing everlastingly

To the blessed Trinity.

Amen.
