MOST ANCIENT OF ALL MYSTERIES - Catholic Hymns and Prayers

Most ancient of all mysteries,
Before thy throne we lie;
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most holy Trinity.
When heav’n and earth were yet unmade,
When time was yet unknown,
Thou, in the bliss and majesty,
Didst live and love alone.
Thou were not born; there was no fount,
From which thy Being flowed,
There is no end which thou canst reach,
But thou art simply God.
How wonderful creation is,
The work that thou didst bless;
And oh, what then must thou be like,
Eternal loveliness!
Most ancient of all mysteries,
Still at thy throne we lie;
Have mercy now, most merciful,
Most holy Trinity.
