| Jehovah, God the Father, bless,And Thy own work defend!
 With mercy’s outstretched arms embrace
 And keep us to the end!
 Preserve the creatures of Thy love,By providential care
 Conducted to the realms above,
 To sing Thy goodness there.
 Jehovah, God the Son, revealThe brightness of Thy face;
 And all Thy pardoned people fill
 With plenitude of grace!
 Shine forth with all the Deity,Which dwells in Thee alone;
 And lift us up Thy face to see
 On Thy eternal throne.
 Jehovah, God the Spirit, shine,Father and Son to show!
 With bliss ineffable, divine,
 Our ravished hearts o’erflow.
 Sure earnest of that happinessWhich human hope transcends,
 Be Thou our everlasting peace,
 When grace in glory ends!
