You are boundless and one, O Trinity, whose power
creates and governs all time, and exists before the ages. You alone are blessed
in yourself are sufficient for the fullness of joy; you are perfect, simple,
providentially holding in existence the heavens and all the world. O Father,
the source of all grace, O light of the Father’s splendor, O Holy Spirit of the Father and the Son,
endless love. From you the first cause, O good Trinity, flows that which
sustains created things, that which perfects them in beauty. Those whom you
have crowned with the gifts of adoption
as sons, make shining temples ever pleasing to you. O living light, grant that we may be united to the angels in the heavenly
courts that we may forever gratefully sing of you in loving praise. Amen.
You most high Father and Word to the nations are
confessed to be one Lord; may as many as are gathered in the pleasant garden of
paradise acknowledge you. No one understands
how wondrous you are, O loving Trinity, but forever you satisfy the
inhabitants of heaven with the vision of your countenance, as they sing to you
with joyful voices. They sing that you
created the great mass of the world, that you rule all things with eternal
light, that you warm with the fire of heavenly love those who belong to
you. Even now you allow us in our souls
to sing hymns with the gathered choirs of heaven, the blessed, whom we hope to
join in your peace. Amen.
O Trinity resplendent on your lofty throne, may a
hymn of glory be sung to you forever, you who hold the strongest love deep
within our hearts. Creator of all
things, Father, loving power, who make us to share in your image and life, make
us worthy of such gifts of faith. O Son,
splendor and mirror of eternal light, you call us and make us your brothers,
grant that we may be flourishing branches of your vine. Love, fire, goodness, you govern all created
things with powerful and peaceful light; O Spirit, renew minds, nurture the
inner the inner most parts of the heart.
O sweet host, Trinity worthy of all our homage, make us to be joined to
you by the bond of love until at last we enjoy you and sing hymns to you forever.
Amen.
