God whom we in Christ adore, Wonders wrought by Jesus' name; By his own effectual power Christ himself perform'd the same: The same miracles of grace By the Holy Ghost were done; Teaching us our God to praise, One in Three and Three in One. Holy, holy, holy Lord, One Almighty God most high, One in Persons Three ador'd, Thee we laud and magnify; Still the Tri-une God we praise, 'Till around thy throne we meet, Heighten the seraphic lays, Make the harmony compleat. "The mystery ... made manifest according to the commandment of the EVERLASTING GOD." Rom. xvi. 25, 26. "I am the FIRST and the LAST." Rev. xxii. 13. "... who through the EVERLASTING SPIRIT." Heb. ix. 14. The everlasting Father bless, The everlasting God commend, The everlasting Spirit confess, Who neither can begin nor end, Equal in power and majesty One God reveal'd in Persons Three. Not Three eternals we adore, But One eternal God most high, Him whom the angels fall before, And holy, holy, holy cry, Page 77 Him who to man his name imparts, And lives in all believing hearts. "He that sent me is TRUE." John vii. 28. "These things saith he that is TRUE, he that hath the key of David." Rev. iii. 7. "The Spirit is TRUTH." 1 John v. 6. Who sent the Son is true; True is the Son that came; True is the Spirit too, Conferr'd in Jesus' name: The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Essential truth we own, And prostrate with his heavenly host Adore the Three in One. "Who shall not fear thee, O LORD? For THOU ONLY art HOLY." Rev. xv. 4. "Ye denied THE HOLY ONE." Acts iii. 14. "Ye have an unction from THE HOLY ONE." 1 John ii. 20. Holy is our God alone, God the Father and the Son, Holy we the Spirit esteem God omnipotent, supreme, Manifest in Persons Three God through all eternity. In each Person we revere God's authentic character; Praise in each the Holy One Bright on his eternal throne, The great God we glorify, Bless the name of the Most High. Page 78
