69. Sweetest Praises We Will Sing

1 O Father blest! Eternal King!
With grateful hearts Thy praise we sing,
Whose glorious power the world upholds,
Whose boundless love the world enfolds.

Refrain:
Sweetest praises we will sing
To our Father, Lord and King;
Be to Him our love and praise,
Who has blessed us all our days.

2 Thee, too, we sing, Eternal Son,
Who hast for men salvation won!
Thy constant presence, Lord, bestow,
To cheer Thy struggling Church below. [Refrain]

3 Thou Holy Spirit, Fount of Love!
Pour out Thy blessings from above;
Dwell in our souls, delightful Guest!
Prepare our hearts and in them rest. [Refrain]

4 O Triune God in whom we live!
All praise and honor Thee we give;
The Church on earth her songs shall raise,
With those in heav’n, to swell Thy praise. [Refrain]
