A DOXOLOGY.
Oh awful, mystic, Three-and-One—
The Father, Holy Ghost, and Son!
Other in person and in name:
In life and nature, God, the same.
The Father, Holy Ghost, and Son!
Other in person and in name:
In life and nature, God, the same.
The Father, first—the only Son—
The Spirit, mingling Three-in-One;
All, gathered in their sole abode,
The very and eternal God.
The Spirit, mingling Three-in-One;
All, gathered in their sole abode,
The very and eternal God.
There, when our day of peace began,
Throned in their midst, Behold the Man!
Jesu! the God who died, was he—
The Second of the awful Three.
Throned in their midst, Behold the Man!
Jesu! the God who died, was he—
The Second of the awful Three.
Then fame and honour ever be,
In heaven, to God, the Trinity!
On earth, let equal praise be done,
And worship we the Three and One.
In heaven, to God, the Trinity!
On earth, let equal praise be done,
And worship we the Three and One.
