[The Lord our God is only One]

The Lord our God is one Jehovah. Deuteronomy vi. 4.

Thou whose name alone is Jehovah art the most high over all the earth. Psalm lxxxiii. 18.

This is the name whereby He shall be called, Jehovah our righteousness. Jeremiah xxiii. 6.

The Lord Jehovah took me, the Spirit lifted me up, &c. Ezekiel viii. 1, 3.

The Lord our God is only One,
One is Jehovah the most high:
Jehovah is His name alone,
Who made and fills both earth and sky:
Jehovah is the Saviour's name;
Jehovah is the Spirit's too:
And Three essentially the same
Is the eternal God and true.
The name peculiarly Divine
Which doth His nature best express,
To the three persons we assign,
And each substantial God confess:
Rivals of His celestial host
We triumph here like those above,
And Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
The One supreme Jehovah love.
