Lyrics:

All hail, adored Trinity,
All hail, eternal Unity;	
O God the Father, God the Son,	
and God the Spirit, ever one.

Behold, O Lord, this festal day
We pour to thee our thankful lay;
For all thy gifts of priceless worth,	
The saving health of all the earth.

Three Persons praise we evermore,	
And thee the Eternal One adore;	
In thy sure mercy ever kind,	
May we our true protection find.

O Trinity, O Unity,
Be present as we worship thee;
And to the Angels' songs in light,
Our prayers and praises now unite. Amen.
