Be near us, Holy Trinity
From Oremus Hymnal
Be near us, Holy Trinity,
one God of equal majesty;
all things that are on thee depend,
who art beginning without end.
The myriad armies of the sky
praise, worship, tell thy Name most high:
this triple frame, earth, air and sea,
doth bless thee everlastingly.
We also come, thy servants all,
and at thy feet adoring fall:
O join the vows and prayers we bring
with those high hymns the angels sing.
Thee we confess one light to be,
thee we adore, co-equal Three:
Alpha and Omega we cry,
and all things having breath reply.
Praise to the Father, made of none,
praise to his sole-begotten Son,
praise to the Holy Spirit be,
eternal Godhead, One in Three.
