Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-63 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #419 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Most ancient of all mysteries, Before Thy throne we lie; Have mercy now, most merciful, Most holy Trinity. 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. 3 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. 4 How wonderful creation is, The work which Thou didst bless, And O what then must Thou be like, Eternal loveliness! 5 O listen then, most pitiful, To Thy poor creature's heart: It blesses Thee that Thou art God, That Thou art what Thou art. 6 Most ancient of all mysteries, Still at thy throne we lie; Have mercy now, most merciful, Most holy Trinity.
