Part 7 (1/2)

Come ye people, come adore Him, G.o.d in Holy Trinity; G.o.d the Father, Son, and Spirit, Ever Blessed Unity.

II

Thine the glory, G.o.d Almighty, To the Son and Spirit given, Ere upon the world's creation Dawned the new-born light of heaven.

III

Holy, holy, we adore Thee, One in power, in nature one; G.o.d the Father, G.o.d the Spirit, G.o.d the Co-Eternal Son.

IV

By the Son the wide creation Rose where chaos held its sway; By the Spirit, G.o.d Almighty Swept eternal night away.

V

Son, the Father's love revealing, Son, through whom the Spirit came, Blessed G.o.dhead! endless glory Be to Thine exalted name.

I

When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Wrapt in Thy glory bright, Then shall the earth in terror quake, The sun withhold his light.

II

When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Then to Thy judgment-bar, Even as a mighty stream, shall flow The sons of men from far.

III

When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Then shall the books be spread, And from their secrets Thou shalt judge The living and the dead.

IV

When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Then save me by Thy power, Let not the flames of wrath o'ertake Thy servant in that hour.

V

When Thou shalt come, O Lord, In mercy let me stand-- No guilt upon my conscience laid-- Approved, at Thy right hand.
