NT of all, whose love display'd

Still rules the world Thy bounty made,
Fain would we raise the hymn to Thee,
In substance One, in
Fain would we chant to Thee the song,
Which through the ages all along
Is chanted by Thy heavenly train,
And earth resounds to heaven again.
Taught by Thy Word this festal day
Our homage of true faith we pay:
O in that faith preserve us still,
And shield us evermore from ill:
That still our lips Thy praise may show,
And with Thy holy Church below,
Above with Thy angelic host,
Sing Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
