584. O Blessed, Holy Trinity

1 O blessed, holy Trinity,
Divine, eternal Unity --
God Father, Son, and Holy Ghost--
Be all this day my guide and host.

2 My soul and body keep from harm;
O'er all I have extend your arm.
Let Satan cause me no distress
Nor bring me shame or wretchedness.

3 The Father's love shield me this day;
The Son's pure wisdom cheer my way;
The Holy Spirit's joy and light
Drive from my heart the shades of night.

4 My Maker, hold me in your hand;
Redeemer, be my dearest friend;
Blest Comforter, stay at my side,
That faith and love in me abide.

5 Lord, bless and keep me as your own;
Lord, look in kindness from your throne;
Lord, let your favor rest on me,
And give me peace eternally.
