A HYMN FOR TRINITY SUNDAY
By Fr. Frederick Faber
Most ancient of all mysteries,
Before thy throne we lie;
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most holy Trinity.
When heaven and earth were yet unmade,
When time was yet unknown,
Thou in thy bliss and majesty
Didst live and love alone.
Thou wert not born; there was no fount
From which thy Being flowed;
There is no end which thou canst reach;
But thou art simply God.
How wonderful creation is,
The work which thou didst bless,
And O, what then must thou be like,
Eternal loveliness!
Most ancient of all
mysteries,
Before thy throne we lie;
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most holy Trinity.
