Eternal Son, eternal Love,
Take to thyself thy mighty power;
Let all earth’s sons thy mercy prove,
Let all thy saving grace adore.
The triumphs of thy love display,
In every heart reign thou alone.
Till all thy foes confess thy sway,
And glory ends what grace began.
Spirit of grace,
and health, and power,
Fountain of light and love below,
Abroad thy healing
influence shower,
O’er all the nations let it flow.
Inflame our hearts
with perfect love,
In us the work of faith fulfill
So not heaven’s host
shall swifter move
Than we on earth, to do Thy will.
Wisdom, and might,
and love are thine;
Prostrate before thy face we fall,
Confess thine attributes divine,
And hail thee sovereign Lord of all.
Thee, sovereign Lord,
let all confess
That moves in earth, or air, or sky,
Revere thy power,
thy goodness bless,
Tremble before thy piercing eye.
Blessing and honour,
praise and love.
Co-equal, co-eternal Three,
In earth below, and heaven above,
By all thy works be paid on thee!
---Alternative verses---
Thrice Holy! Thine the kingdom is,
The power omnipotent is Thine;
And when created nature dies,
Thy never-ceasing glories shine.
