[Father, Son, and Holy Ghost]
1.
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,One in three, and three in one,
As by the celestial host,
Let thy will on earth be done;
Praise by all to thee be given,
Gracious Lord of earth and heaven!
2.
Vilest of the sinful race,Lo! I answer to thy call:
Meanest vessel of thy grace,
Grace, divinely free for all;
Lo! I come to do thy will,
All thy counsel to fulfil.
3.
If so poor a worm as IMay to thy great glory live,
All my actions sanctify,
All my words and thoughts receive;
Claim me for thy service, claim
All I have, and all I am.
4.
Take my soul and body's powers,Take my memory, mind, and will:
All my goods, and all my hours,
All I know, and all I feel;
All I think, or speak, or do;
Take my heart, but make it new!
5.
Now, my God, thine own I am,Now I give thee back thine own:
Freedom, friends, and health, and fame
Consecrate to thee alone:
Thine I live, thrice happy I!
Happier still if thine I die.
6.
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,One in three, and three in one
As by the celestial host,
Let thy will on earth be done.
Praise by all to thee be given,
Glorious Lord of earth and heaven.
