Small Church Music #1528
1 Father, most holy, merciful, and tender;
Jesus our Savior, with the Father reigning;
Spirit of mercy, Advocate, Defender,
Light never waning;
2 Trinity blessed, Unity unshaken;
Deity perfect, giving and forgiving,
Light of the angels, Life of the forsaken,
Hope of all living;
3 Maker of all things, all Thy creatures praise Thee;
lo, all things serve Thee through Thy whole creation:
hear us, Almighty, hear us as we raise Thee,
heart's adoration.
4 To the almighty triune God be glory:
highest and greatest, help Thou our endeavor;
we, too, would praise Thee, giving honor worthy,
now and forever.
