If you know where to get a good photo of Alston (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
Father most holy, merciful, and loving,
Jesus, Redeemer, ever to be worshiped,
Life-giving Spirit, Comforter most gracious,
God everlasting.
Three in a wondrous unity unbroken,
One perfect God-head, love that never faileth,
Light of the angels, succor of the needy,
Hope of all living.
All Thy creation serveth its creator;
Thee every creature praiseth without ceasing;
We, too, would sing the psalms of true devotion;
Hear, we beseech Thee.
Lord God almighty, unto Thee be glory,
One in three Persons, over all exalted;
Thine, as is meet, be honor, praise, and blessing,
Now and forever.
