a295. O holy, blessed Trinity

1 O Holy, blessed Trinity,
Divine, Essential Unity,
God Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Be Thou this day my Guide and Host.

2 My soul and body keep from harm,
O’er all I have extend Thine arm,
That Satan may not cause 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 light divine
Illume my heart’s benighted shrine.

4 My Maker, strengthen Thou my heart,
O my Redeemer, help impart,
Blest Comforter, keep at my side
That faith and love in me abide.

5 Lord, bless me! keep Thou me as Thine;
Lord, make Thy face upon me shine;
Lord, lift Thy countenance on me
And grant me peace-- sweet peace from Thee!
