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 giv'n, Glorious Lord of earth and heav'n! 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, May 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 mem'ry, 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 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 when Thine I die.
