1. Father of heaven, whose love profound
   A ransom for our souls hath found,
   Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
   To us Thy pardoning love extend.

2. Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
   Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord,
   Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
   To us Thy saving grace extend.

3. Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
   The soul is raised from sin and death,
   Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
   To us Thy quickening power extend.

4. Jehovah, Father, Spirit, Son,
   Mysterious Godhead, Three in One,
   Before Thy throne we sinners bend;
   Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.
