All hail, adored Trinity; All hail, eternal Unity;

O God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, ever one.

In thy sure mercy, ever kind, May we our strong protection find.

O Trinity! O Unity! Be present as we worship thee;

And with the songs that angels sing, Unite the hymns of praise we bring.
