Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #75 (1913) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Father most holy, merciful, and tender;
Jesus our Savior, with the Father reigning;
Spirit of mercy, Advocate, defender,
Light never waning;
2 Trinity blessed, Unity unshaken;
Deity perfect, giving and forgiving,
Light of the angels, Life of the forsaken,
Hope of all living;
3 Maker of all things, all Thy creatures praise Thee;
Lo, all things serve Thee through thy whole creation:
Hear us, Almighty, hear us as we raise Thee
Heart's adoration.
4 To the almighty triune God be glory:
Highest and greatest, help Thou our endeavor;
We, too, would praise Thee, giving honor worthy,
Now and for ever. Topics: God His Trinity; God His Trinity; Close of Service Languages: English Tune Title: [Father most holy, merciful and tender]
