God the Father, God the Son,
God the Spirit, Three in One,
Hear us from Thy heaven’ly throne,
Spare us, Holy Trinity.
Jesu evermore ador’d,
As we claim Thy promised word,
Gather’d in Thy Name, O Lord,
Hear us, we beseech Thee.
For Thy Church so dear to Thee,
That she may for ever be
Kept in peace and unity,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
For the rulers of our land,
That they may at Thy command
Right promote and wrong withstand,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
For Thy priests in every place,
That relying on Thy grace
They with patience run their race,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
All our loved ones we commend,
Lord to Thee, man’s truest Friend,
Guard and guide them to the end,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
Some on beds of sickness lie,
Some in want and hunger cry;
Lord, their every need supply,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
Some are lonely, some are sad,
Some have lost the joy they had;
With true comfort make them glad,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
Some have fallen from Thy race,
Wearied in their heav’nward race;
may they rise and seek Thy face,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
Some are sunk in deadly sin
With no spark of love within;
In their souls Thy work begin,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
That whoever now doth lie
In his mortal agony,
To the last may feel Thee nigh,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
That the souls for whom we pray
Of the faithful pass’d away
may find mercy to that Day,
We beseech Thee, Jesu.
