2 Samuel xxiii. 2, 3.

The Spirit who by David spoke
The word He never will revoke.

The word He never will revoke.
Each person of the mystic three
The God of Israel we adore,
As was, and is, and still shall be,
When time and nature are no more:
The Triune God we then shall praise
In glorious, everlasting lays.

As was, and is, and still shall be,
When time and nature are no more:
The Triune God we then shall praise
In glorious, everlasting lays.
