To the holy Trinity, on the Redemption of Man.
Supreme Essence, from eternity
Three Persons all in one;
Who being gave to all that be,
And being had of none.
Three Persons all in one;
Who being gave to all that be,
And being had of none.
Thro' all eternity thou wast,
Now art, and shall be ever;
Thy truth and mercy they shall last,
Thro' ages end shall never.
Now art, and shall be ever;
Thy truth and mercy they shall last,
Thro' ages end shall never.
O blessed Father, who hath sent
Thy Son to earth below,
To suffer sinners punishment,
And free them from hell's woe;
Thy Son to earth below,
To suffer sinners punishment,
And free them from hell's woe;
And thou most blessed Son of God,
Who was so well content
With sinners vile to make abode,
When by thy Father sent;
Who was so well content
With sinners vile to make abode,
When by thy Father sent;
Likewise, thou Spirit of all grace,
That turns rebellious wills
To God, and makes a final peace,
And them with comfort fills;
That turns rebellious wills
To God, and makes a final peace,
And them with comfort fills;
To thee, O glorious Trinity,
Be praises evermore,
Ay trinal Three in Unity,
Let all flesh thee adore.
Be praises evermore,
Ay trinal Three in Unity,
Let all flesh thee adore.
