Tu Trinitatis Unitas (Trinity Sunday)
Translated by Edward Caswall (1849) · From Lyra Catholica (1849)
O Thou! who dost all nature sway,
Dread Trinity in Unity!
Accept the trembling praise we pour
To thy eternal Majesty.
The star that heralds in the morn
Is slowly fading in the skies;
The darkness melts;—O Thou true light!
Upon our darken’d souls arise.
To God the Father glory be,
And to his sole-begotten Son;
The same, O Holy Ghost! to Thee,
While everlasting ages run.
