Prophets swell the glad refrain, And the white-robed martyrs follow; And from morn to set of sun, Through the Church the song goes on. 3 Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee; While in essence only One; Undivided God, we claim Thee; And, adoring, bend the knee While we own the mystery. 4 Spare Thy people, Lord, we pray, By a thousand snares surrounded: Keep us without sin to-day, Never let us be confounded. Lo! I put my trust in Thee; Never, Lord, abandon me. Amen. Topics: Adoration Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark! the loud celestial hymn]
