If you know when the words or music were written,
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!
