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 heav'n and earth were yet unmade, when time was yet unknown,
thou in thy bliss and majesty didst live and love alone.
VERSE 3
Thou wast 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 which thou didst bless!
And O what then must thou be like, eternal Loveliness!
VERSE 5
Most ancient of all mysteries, low at thy throne we lie;
have mercy now, most merciful, most holy Trinity.
