Classic Poem

Lord thrice holy and supreme!
God incomprehensible!
Everlasting living Beam!
Fount of joys ineffable!

O Thou Love for ever new!
O Thou Verity divine!
O Thou Unity most true!
Ever One yet ever Trine!

All around Thee countless rays
Make a darkness thick as night;
Whence the Seraphs turn their gaze,
Blinded with excess of light!

Born in Thy triunal Name,
Born in Thee to grace anew,
Thee the sons of men proclaim,
And extol with glory due!

Thee, the Lord of earth and skies,
Owning here in faith and love;
E'en on earth they taste the joys
Stor'd for happy souls above.

Make us, Holy Ghost, to will,
Teach us, Only Son, to know,
Grant us, Father, to fulfil,
All Thou willest us to do!
