Lyrics

Savior and re­ge­ne­ra­tor!
Thee alone, God we own,
Father and Cre­ator.

Word in­car­nate, we ado­re Thee!
Hosts above, God of Love,
Cast their crowns be­fore Thee.

Father, Son and Ho­ly Spir­it,
One in Thee, Lord, we see,
Who Thy grace in­her­it.

May Thy Word be our in­struct­or,
Night and day, on our way,
Our di­vine con­duct­or!

Visit us with Thy sal­va­tion;
Let Thy care still be near,
Round our ha­bi­ta­tion.

Jesus, our di­vine pro­tect­or,
Guide us still, let Thy will
Be our sole di­rect­or!
