Lyrics

O Trinity of blessèd light,
O Unity of princely might,
The fiery sun now goes his way;
Shed Thou within our hearts Thy ray.

To Thee our morning song of praise,
To Thee our evening prayer we raise;
O grant us with Thy saints on high
To praise Thee through eternity.

All laud to God the Fa­ther be,
All praise, eter­nal Son, to Thee,
All glo­ry, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
