307. God of life, whose power benign

God of life, whose power benign

, Doth o'er the world in mercy shine,

Accept our praise, for we are Thine.

o

O Father, all-creating Lord,

Be Thou by every tongue implored,

Be Thou by every heart adored.

O Son of God, for sinners slain,

We bless Thee, Lord, whose dying pain

For us did endless life regain.

O Holy Ghost, whose guardian care

Doth us for heavenly joys prepare,

May we in Thy communion share.

O Holy Blessed Trinity,

With faith we sinners bow to Thee;

In heaven and earth exalted be.
