Carol Communion: Invocation

Invocation
Tune: Adeste Fidelis
Irregular Meter

In the Name of the Father,
Of the + Son, and Holy Spirit.
In Thy Name we are baptized
And to Thee we call:
This day come among us
As we lift hearts and voices.
   O hear our prayer and bless us;
   Guide guard us and protect us.
   O Triune God, come to us;
   For faithful art Thou.
