Lyrics

Three in One and One in Three,
Ruler of the earth and sea,
Hear us, while we lift to Thee
Holy chant and psalm.

Light of lights! with morn­ing shine;
Lift on us Thy light di­vine;
And let cha­ri­ty be­nign
Breathe on us her balm.

Light of lights! when falls the ev­en
Let it close on sin for­giv­en;
Fold us in the peace of Heav’n;
Shed a ho­ly calm.

Three in One and One in Three,
Dimly here we wor­ship Thee;
With the saints here­af­ter we
Hope to bear the palm.
