God is One.
One! One! One! art Thou,
Judge and King and God alone:
Thee we worship, and allow
None to share Thy glory—none!
Judge and King and God alone:
Thee we worship, and allow
None to share Thy glory—none!
Great, great, great, art Thou,
Undivided greatness Thine:
Other gods we disavow;
None but Thee we own divine.
Undivided greatness Thine:
Other gods we disavow;
None but Thee we own divine.

Wise, wise, wise, art Thou;
Wise beyond our highest thought:
Nought, when at Thy throne we bow,
Shall distract our praises—nought!
Wise beyond our highest thought:
Nought, when at Thy throne we bow,
Shall distract our praises—nought!
Good, good, good, art Thou;
Thine th'unfathomable sea
Where each thought that fills us now
Is o'erwhelmed with thoughts of Thee.
Thine th'unfathomable sea
Where each thought that fills us now
Is o'erwhelmed with thoughts of Thee.
Great, wise, good, art Thou!
Thou our God that reign'st alone:
Consecrate Thy servants' vow,
Incommunicable One!
