Great Jehovah, Loving Father,
Clothed with Might and Majesty,
Jesus Christ, both King and Brother,
Our Redeemer on the Tree,
Holy Spirit, Intercessor,
Comforter and Guide is He,
Great Jehovah, Great Jehovah,
Three in One and One in Three;
We, Thy children, lost in wonder,
Blessed, Blessed Trinity,

Kneeling at Thy throne of mercy,
May we pure, Thy temple be;
As we bow in adoration,
May we give ourselves to Thee;
Grant the new birth of Thy Spirit,
Consciousness from sin set free;
Give us faith in greater measure,
Hope and love that we may see
With the Spirit's clearer vision;
Wisdom too we ask from Thee.

Keep us faithful in Thy service,
Guarding Thy most Sacred Word,
Striving for Thy coming kingdom,
Ever watching for our Lord;
May we yield ourselves like children,
Filled with Thy abounding grace,
Till no longer seeing darkly,
We shall see Thee face to face,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
We shall see Thee face to face.
