1. Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
   One in Three and Three in One,
   As by the celestial host,
   Let thy will on earth be done;
   Praise by all to thee be given,
   Gracious Lord of earth and heaven.

2. Vilest of the sinful race,
   Lo! I answer to thy call;
   Meanest vessel of thy grace,
   Grace divinely free for all;
   Lo! I come to do thy will,
   All thy counsel to fulfil.

3. If so poor a worm as I
   My to thy great glory live,
   All my actions sanctify,
   All my words and thoughts receive;
   Claim me for thy service, claim
   All I have, and all I am.

4. Take my soul and body's powers;
   Take my memory, mind and will;
   All my goods, and all my hours;
   All I know, and all I feel;
   All I think, or speak, or do;
   Take my heart, but make it new.

5. Now, O my God, thine own I am;
   Now I give thee back thine own;
   Freedom, friends and health and fame,
   Consecrate to thee alone:
   Thine I live, thrice happy I!
   Happier still if thine I die.

6. Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
   One in Three and Three in One,
   As by the celestial host,
   Let thy will on earth be done;
   Praise by all to thee be given,
   Glorious Lord of earth and heaven.
