"Thou, who art Three in Unity." by Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Text From: THE HYMNS OF MARTIN LUTHER (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1883), p. 71 1. Thou who art Three in Unity, True God from all eternity, The sun is fading from our sight, Shine thou on us with heavenly light. 2. We praise thee with the dawning day, To thee at evening also pray, With our poor song we worship thee Now, ever and eternally. 3. Let God the Father be adored, And God the Son, the only Lord, And equal adoration be, Eternal Comforter, to thee. _______________________________________________________ Notes: Hymn XXXVI from "The Hymns of Martin Luther" Author: Martin Luther, an imitation from the Gregorian hymn, "O lux beata trinitas."
