Father of ev­er­last­ing grace,
Thy good­ness and Thy truth we praise,
Thy good­ness and Thy truth we prove;
Thou hast, in hon­or of Thy Son,
The gift un­speak­able sent down,
The Spi­rit of life, and pow­er and love.

Send us the Spi­rit of Thy Son,
To make the depths of God­head known,
To make us share the life di­vine;
Send Him the sprin­kled blood to apply,
Send Him our souls to sanc­ti­fy,
And show and seal us ev­er Thine.

So shall we pray, and ne­ver cease;
So shall we thank­ful­ly con­fess
Thy wis­dom, truth, and pow­er, and love;
With joy un­speak­able adore,
And bless and praise Thee ev­er­more,
And serve Thee as Thy hosts above:

Till, added to that hea­ven­ly choir,
We raise our songs of tri­umph higher,
And praise Thee in a nob­ler strain,
Out-soar the first-born se­raph’s flight,
And sing, with all our friends in light,
Thy ev­er­last­ing love to man.
