We God the Father praise, We God the Son adore, The Spirit of holiness In majesty and power Equal to both we magnify, And holy, holy, holy cry! He hath to us made known The awful mystery, The Trinity in One, And Unity in Three, And taught the ransom'd sons of men What angels never could explain. Page 124 Beyond our utmost thought, And reason's proudest flight, We comprehend him not, Nor grasp the infinite, But worship in the mystic Three One God to all eternity. The sacred Three conspire In love to fallen man, T' exalt the creature higher, And turn his loss to gain: Still in the new creation The Persons all agree, Joint-causes of salvation, To raise, and perfect me. The Father's grace allures me, And to my Saviour gives; The Saviour's blood assures me, That God his child receives: The Comforter bears witness That I am truly his, And brings my soul its fitness For everlasting bliss. The Father, Son, and Spirit Himself to me makes known, And I in him inherit One God, for ever One: Jehovah's purest essence My raptur'd spirit seals; And all his blissful presence In all his people dwells. The Father, Son, and Spirit praise Restorer of our ruin'd race, One God eternally ador'd, One merciful, Almighty Lord! Hark! He whispers from above; Tells our hearts, that God is love! Page 125 The Tri-une God is found below, Whom only loving hearts can know, In every Person of the Three Resides the whole divinity: God, to me thy house of clay Come, and here for ever stay. Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Inexplicably One and Three, As worship'd by the heavenly host, Thy church on earth we worship thee, Three unconfounded Persons own, One undivided God proclaim, In essence, substance, nature One Thro' all eternity the same. One Person of the Sire we praise, Another of the Son adore, Another of the Spirit confess, Equal in majesty and power: To each the glory appertains, The Godhead of the Three is One, And One supreme Jehovah reigns High on his everlasting throne. The Father, Son, and Spirit of love One uncreated God we hail, Not fully known by saints above, To us incomprehensible: The Father, Son, and Spirit of grace, All-wise, almighty, and most-high, One true eternal God we bless, And spread his fame thro' earth and sky.
