Blessed be the father for his love,
To which celestial source we owe
Rivers of endless joy above,
And rills of comfort here below.
Glory to thee, Incarnate Lord,
The blood thou didst so freely shed,
Thy mighty grace, thy sacred word,
Restore to life and joy the dead.
We give thee, sacred Spirit, praise,
Who in our hearts of sin and woe,
Mak’st living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.
Thus God and Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, we adore;
That sea of life and love unknown,
Unfathomed and without a shore.
