[The everlasting Father bless]

The mystery—made manifest according to the commandment of the everlasting God. Romans xvi. 25, 26.

I am the First and the Last. Revelation xxii. 13.

—who through the Eternal Spirit. Hebrews ix. 14.

The everlasting Father bless,
The everlasting God commend,
The everlasting Spirit confess,
Who neither can begin nor end,
Equal in power and majesty
One God reveal'd in persons three.
Not three eternals we adore,
But One eternal God most high,
Him whom the angels fall before,
And Holy, holy, holy cry,
Him who to man His name imparts,
And lives in all believing hearts.
