Chorale Book for England

Lord Jesus Christ, be present now!

And let thy Holy Spirit bow

All hearts in love and fear today,

To hear the truth and keep Thy way.

Open our lips to sing Thy praise,

Our hearts in true devotion raise,

Strengthen our faith, increase our light,

That we may know Thy name aright:

Until we join the host that cry

"Holy, Holy art Thou most High,"

And 'mid the light of that blest place

Shall gaze upon Thee face to face.

Glory to God, the Father, Son,

And Holy Spirit, Three in One!

To Thee, O blessed Trinity,

Be praise throughout eternity!
