True mir­ror of the God­head! Per­fect Light!
Thou Three in One, whose ne­ver slum­ber­ing might
Enfolds the world with­in its shel­ter­ing wings,
And holds in be­ing all cre­at­ed things!

We praise Thee with the ear­li­est morn­ing ray;
We praise Thee with the part­ing beam of day:
All things that live and move, by sea and land,
Forever rea­dy at Thy ser­vice stand.

Exhaustless Trea­sure! Be­ing li­mit­less!
What gaze has ev­er pieced Thy deep ab­yss?
Deep Fount of Life! Light in­ac­cess­ible!
How great Thy pow­er, O God, what tongue can tell?

Thy Christ­en­dom is sing­ing night and day,
Glory to Him, the migh­ty God, for aye,
By whom, through whom, in whom all be­ings are!
Grant us to ec­ho on this song afar!

Thy name is great, Thy king­dom in us dwell,
Thy will con­strain and feed and guide us well:
Spare us, re­deem us in the ev­il hour,
For Thine the glo­ry, Thine the rule, the pow­er.
