1 O holy, blessed Trinity,
Divine, eternal Unity,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
This day your name be uppermost.
2 My soul and body keep from harm,
And over all extend your arm;
Let Satan cause me no distress
Nor bring me shame and wretchedness.
3 The Father's love shield me this day;
The Son's pure wisdom cheer my way;
The Holy Spirit's joy and light
Drive from my heart the shades of night.
4 My Maker, hold me in your hand;
O Christ, forgiven let me stand;
Blest Comforter, do not depart,
With faith and love enrich my heart.
5 Lord, bless and keep me as your own;
Lord, look in kindness from your throne;
Lord, shine unfailing peace on me
By grace surrounded; set me free.
