LXXXIV. 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 giv'n,
Gracious Lord of earth and heav'n.

2 If so poor a worm as I
May 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.

3 Take my soul and body's pow'rs;
Take my mem'ry, 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!

4 Now, O God, thy own I am!
Now I give thee back thy own;
Freedom, friends, and health, and fame,
Consecrate to thee alone:
Thine I live, thrice happy I;
Happier still if thine I die!

5 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 giv'n,
Glorious Lord of earth and heav'n.
