Father Most Holy, Merciful and Tender

Matt.28.20

Father most holy, merciful and tender;

Jesus our Savior, with the Father reigning;

Spirit all kindly, Advocate, Defender,

Light never waning;

Trinity sacred, Unity unshaken;

Deity perfect, giving and forgiving,

Light of the angels, Life of the forsaken,

Hope of the living;

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.

To the all ruling triune God be glory:

Highest and greatest, help Thou our endeavor;

We, too, would praise Thee, giving honor worthy

Now and forever.
