1 O Thou Holy One, great and merciful! Lord of all and Creator! Thee we are nearing, Blessings desiring, Help us, Help us, Jehovah! 2 O Thou Holy One, great and merciful! We also are Thy children. Thy mercy pleading, In Thee confiding. Help us, Help us, O Father! 3 O Thou Holy One, great and merciful! Jesus, Saviour of mankind! Friend of the children, Saviour of sinners. Help us, Help us, Lord Jesus! 4 O Thou Holy One, great and merciful! Spirit of love and wisdom! Comfort us ever; Show us the Father; Reign Thou, Reign Thou, within us! 5 O Thou Holy One, great and merciful! Comfort and keep us ever! Thou, our Consoler, Helper and Father, Share us, Share us Thy blessings!
