Father of heaven, whose love profound
A ransom for our souls has found,
Before your throne we sinners bend:
To us your pardoning love extend.

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

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

O Holy Father, Spirit, Son,
Mysterious Godhead, Three in One,
Before your throne we sinners bend:
Grace, pardon, life to us extend.
