Lyrics

Holy Trinity, thanks and praise to Thee,
That our life and whole sal­va­tion
Flow from Christ’s blest incarnation,
And His death for us on the shameful cross.

Had we angels’ tongues, with seraphic songs,
Bowing hearts and knees before Thee,
Triune God, we would adore Thee
In the highest strain for the Lamb once slain.
