With Thy wonted loving kindness Hear Thy people as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 3 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain: What they gain from Thee forever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. 4 Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One; One in might, and One in glory, While unending ages run.
