Ever equally ador'd, Hail the Spirit and the Son, Holy, holy, holy Lord, One in Three, and Three in One. Sing we to our God above Praise eternal as his love: Praise him, all ye heavenly host, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

This is a slightly revised version of verse 2 of Samuel Wesley Sr.'s adaptation of Psalm CXVII, in The Pious Communicant Rightly Prepared (London: Charles Harper, Father live, by all things fear'd; Live the Son, alike rever'd; Equally be thou ador'd, Holy Ghost eternal Lord. Three in Person, One in power, Thee we worship evermore: Praise by all to thee be given, Endless theme of earth and heaven. Praise be to the Father given! Christ he gave Us to save, Now the heirs of heaven. Pay we equal adoration To the Son: He alone Wrought out our salvation. Glory to the eternal Spirit! Us he seals, Christ reveals, And applies his merit. Worship, honour, thanks and blessing, One in Three, Give we thee, Never, never ceasing. To God, who reigns enthron'd on high, To his dear Son who deign'd to die Our guilt and misery to remove, To that blest Spirit who life imparts, Who rules in all believing hearts, Be endless glory, praise and love.

Honour and endless love, Let God the Son receive, Who saves us here, and prays above, That we with him may live. Be everlasting praise To God the Spirit given, Who now attests us sons of grace, And seals us heirs of heaven. Drawn, and redeem'd and seal'd, We'll sing the One and Three, With Father, Son, and Spirit fill'd, To all eternity. Father of mankind be ever ador'd: Thy mercy we find, in sending our Lord, To ransom and bless us; thy goodness we praise, For sending in Jesus salvation by grace.
