O Trinity, O Trinity, the uncreated one;
O Unity, O Unity, of Father, Spirit, Son:
you are without beginning,
your life is never ending;
and though our tongues are earthbound clay,
light them with flaming fire today.
2. O Majesty, O Majesty, the Father of our race;
O Mystery, O Mystery, we cannot see your face:
your justice is unswerving,
your love is overpowering;
and though our tongues are earthbound clay,
light them with flaming fire today.
3. O Virgin-born, O Virgin-born, of humankind the least;
O Victim torn, O Victim torn, both spotless lamb and priest:
you died and rose victorious,
you reign above all-glorious;
and though our tongues are earthbound clay,
light them with flaming fire today.
4. O Wind of God, O Wind of God, invigorate the dead;
O Fire of God, O Fire of God, your burning radiance spread:
your fruit our lives renewing,
your gifts, the church transforming;
and though our tongues are earthbound clay,
light them with flaming fire today.
5. O Trinity, O Trinity, the uncreated One;
O Unity, O Unity, of Father, Spirit, Son:
you are without beginning,
your life is never-ending;
and though our tongues are earthbound clay,
light them with flaming fire today.
