LXXXIV. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

1 Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
One in Three, and Three in One,
As by the celestial host,
Let thy will on earth be done
Praise by all to thee be giv'n,
Gracious Lord of earth and heav'n.

2 If so poor a worm as I
May to thy great glory live,
All my actions sanctify,
All my words and thoughts receive:
Claim me for thy service, claim
All I have, and all I am.

3 Take my soul and body's pow'rs,
Take my mem'ry, mind, and will;
All my goods, and all my hours,
All I know, and all I feel;
All I think, or speak, or do:
Take my heart; but make it new!

4 Now, O God, thy own I am!
Now I give thee back thy own;
Freedom, friends, and health, and fame,
Consecrate to thee alone:
Thine I live, thrice happy I;
Happier still if thine I die!

5 Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
One in Three, and Three in One,
As by the celestial host,
Let thy will on earth be done:
Praise by all to thee be giv'n,
Glorious Lord of earth and heav'n.
