O Blessed Holy Trinity |
Martin Behm, 1608; German text
O blessed Holy Trinity, Divine, eternal Unity, God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Be Thou this day my Guide and Host.
2. My soul and body keep from harm, | 3. The Father's love shield me this day, The Son's pure wisdom cheer my way, The Holy Spirit's light divine Illume my heart's benighted shrine.
4. My Maker, strengthen Thou my heart, |
5. Lord, bless and keep Thou me as Thine; Lord, make Thy face upon me shine; Lord, lift Thy countenance on me And give me peace, sweet peace, from Thee. |
