Author: Anonymous; Percy Dearmer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1557 Meter: 11.11.11.10 Lyrics: 1. Father most holy, merciful and tender;
Jesus our Savior, with the Father reigning;
Spirit all kindly, Advocate, Defender,
Light never waning;
2. Trinity sacred, Unity unshaken;
Deity perfect, giving and forgiving,
Light of the angels, Life of the forsaken,
Hope of the living;
3. Maker of all things, all Thy creatures praise Thee;
Lo, all things serve Thee through Thy whole creation:
Hear us, Almighty, hear us as we raise Thee
Heart’s adoration.
4. To the all ruling triune God be glory:
Highest and greatest, help Thou our endeavor;
We, too, would praise Thee, giving honor worthy
Now and forever. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTE DU BEISTAND
Father Most Holy, Merciful and Tender
