O Lord our God, we bless thee now,
To thee our souls and bodies bow,
With humblest awe fall down before
Thy throne, and joyfully adore;
God of our ancestors we praise,
The Father, Son, and Spirit of grace,
One glorious God in Persons Three,
Our God thro’ all eternity.
O Lord our God, we bless thee now
