Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Most ancient of all mysteries,
Before thy throne we lie,
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most holy Trinity.
VERSE 2
When heaven and earth were yet unmade,
When time was yet unknown,
Thou, in thy bliss and majesty,
Didst live and love alone.
VERSE 3
Thou were not born, there was no fount,
From which thy Being flowed,
There is no end which thou canst reach
But thou art simply God.
VERSE 4
How wonderful creation is,
The work that thou didst bless;
And oh, what then must thou be like,
Eternal loveliness!
VERSE 5
Most ancient of all mysteries,
Still at thy throne we lie,
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most holy Trinity.
