Verse 1
A real Unity
Which heart can ne’er conceive
In the celestial Three
His children all believe:
In essence, not in figure, One
The Persons we adore,
Of God the Father, Spirit, Son,
And praise him evermore.
Verse 2
Call’d by a common name
The sacred Three we praise,
In will and power the same,
In majesty and grace;
Jehovah whom his hosts surround,
An ever warbling quire,
The God supreme in each is found,
The Deity entire.
Verse 3
Thrice holy God, admit
Poor worms of earth to join,
And at thy mercy-seat
Extol the grace divine,
The wisdom in a mystery
Of love unsearchable,
’Till thou receive us up to see
Thy face without a veil.
