Religion

Thou who art three in unity

by Martin Luther 1483–1546

Translated by George MacDonald (Rampolli, 1897) · From Luther's Song-Book (Rampolli, 1897)

Religion

Thou who art three in unity,
A true God from eternity,
The sun’s daylight withdraws his shine:
Lighten us with thy light divine.

At morn we praise thee with the day,
At evening, too, to thee we pray;
Our poor song glorifieth thee
Now, ever, and eternally.

God, Father, always be adored!
God, Son, thou art our only Lord!
Thee Comforter, the Holy Ghost,
We praise now and for evermore! Amen.
