Hear us, O Christ, our King;

Lord, hear the prayer we bring,

And take the ordering of our way.

Thy mercy, Lord, extend;

Thy mercy, Lord, extend,

And take the ordering of our way.

O Three in Unity!

Protect us all each day:

In this Thy path divine we pray.

Send us a faithful guide:

An angel to abide,

Whose hand shall lead us to Thy throne.

Our upward path direct,

From every foe protect,

And bring us back to claim our own.

Thy strong right arm extend,

And with Thy left defend,

And save us from the enemy.

O Thou Creator wise,

Soon may our longing eyes

The glory of Thy kingdom see.

Now glory let there be,

O Father, unto Thee,

From age to age eternally.
