HAVE mercy on us, God most high,
Who lift our hearts to thee;
Have mercy on us, worms of earth,
Most holy Trinity.

2 Most ancient of all mysteries,
Before thy throne we lie;
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most holy Trinity,

3 When heaven and earth were yet unmade
When time was yet unknown,
Thou in thy bliss and majesty
Didst live and love alone.

4 Thou wert not born: there was no fount
From which thy Being flowed,
There is no end which thou canst reach;
But thou art simply God.

5 How wonderful creation is,
The work which thou didst bless,
And O what then must thou be like,
Eternal loveliness!

6 How beautiful the Angels are,
The Saints how bright in bliss;
But with thy beauty, Lord, compared.
How dull how poor is this!
