Be near us, Holy Trinity,
One Light, one only Deity!
All things are Thine,
on Thee depend,
Who art Beginning without end.
The myriad armies of the sky
Praise, bless, adore Thy majesty:
Earth’s triple frame—
land, air, and sea—
Upraise their canticle to Thee.
We, too, Thy suppliant
servants all,
Before Thy feet adoring fall:
To Thee our vows
and prayers we bring
With hymns that saints
and angels sing.
One we believe Thee, Light divine,
And worship in a glorious Trine:
O First and Last, we humbly cry,
And all things having breath reply.
Praise to the Father, made of none,
Praise to the sole-begotten Son,
Praise to the Holy Spirit be—
Mysterious Godhead, One in Three!
---Alternative verses---
Be near us, Holy Trinity,
One God of equal majesty;
All things that are on thee depend,
Who art beginning without end.
The myriad armies of the sky
Praise, worship,
tell thy Name most high:
This triple frame, earth, air and sea,
Doth bless thee everlastingly.
We also come, thy servants all,
And at thy feet adoring fall:
O join the vows and prayers we bring
With those high hymns
the angels sing.
Thee we confess one Light to be,
Thee we adore, co-equal Three:
Alpha and Omega we cry,
And all things having breath reply.
Praise to the Father, made of none,
Praise to his sole-begotten Son,
Praise to the Holy Spirit be,
Eternal Godhead, One in Three.
