Be near us, Ho­ly Tri­ni­ty,
One Light, one on­ly De­ity!
All things are Thine, on Thee de­pend,
Who art be­gin­ning with­out end.

The my­ri­ad ar­mies of the sky
Praise, bless, adore Thy ma­jes­ty:
Earth’s tri­ple frame—land, air, and sea—
Upraise their can­ti­cle to Thee.

We, too, Thy sup­pli­ant ser­vants all,
Before Thy feet ador­ing fall:
To Thee our vows and pray­ers we bring
With hymns that saints and an­gels sing.

One we be­lieve Thee, Light di­vine,
And wor­ship in a glo­ri­ous Trine:
O First and Last, we hum­bly cry,
And all things hav­ing breath reply.

Praise to the Fa­ther, made of none,
Praise to the sole-be­got­ten Son,
Praise to the Ho­ly Spi­rit be—
Mysterious God­head, One in Three!
