our hearts in true devotion bow.
Your Spirit send with light divine,
and let your truth within us shine.
2 Unseal our lips to sing your praise
in endless hymns through all our days;
increase our faith and light our minds;
and set us free from doubt that binds.
3 Then shall we join the hosts that cry,
"O holy, holy, Lord Most High!"
And in the light of that blest place
we then shall see you face to face.
4 All glory to the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit, Three in One!
To you, O blessed Trinity,
be praise throughout eternity! Topics: Church Year Trinity Sunday; Doxologies; Jesus Christ Presence; Elements of Worship Opening of Worship: Called And Gathered Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST, DICH ZU UNS WEND
