Author: P. Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #436 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: Father most holy, merciful, and tender Lyrics: 1 Father most holy, merciful, and tender
Jesus, our Savior, with the Father reigning;
Spirit all-kindly, Advocate, Defender,
Light never waning.
2 Trinity sacred, Unity unshaken;
Deity perfect, giving and forgiving,
Light of the angels, Life of the forsaken,
Hope of all living.
3 Maker of all things, all Thy creatures praise Thee;
Lo, all things serve Thee through Thy whole creation.
Hear us, Almighty, hear us as we raise Thee
Heart's adoration.
4 To the almighty triune God be glory:
Highest and greatest, help Thou our endeavor;
We, too, would praise Thee, giving honor worthy,
Now and forever.
