O Father, by whose sovereign sway The sun and stars in order move, Yet who hast made us bold to say Thy nature and thy name is love: O royal Son, whose every deed Showed love and love's divinity, Yet didst not scorn the humblest need At Cana's feast in Galilee. O Holy Spirit, who dost speak In saint and sage since time began, Yet givest courage to the weak And teachest love to selfish man: Be present in our hearts to-day, All powerful to bless, and give To these thy children grace that they May love, and through their loving live.
