O God, Almighty Father

Representative Text

1 O God, almighty Father,
Creator of all things,
The heavens stand in wonder,
While earth your glory sings.

Refrain:
O most holy Trinity,
Undivided unity,
Holy God, mighty God,
God immortal, be adored!

2 O Jesus, Word incarnate,
Redeemer most adored,
All glory, praise, and honor;
Be yours, O sov'reign Lord. [Refrain]

3 O God, the Holy Spirit,
Who lives within our soul,
Send forth your light and lead us
To our eternal goal. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
