Verse 1
Hail, co-essential Three
In mystic Unity!
Father, Son, and Spirit, hail,
God by heaven and earth ador’d,
God incomprehensible,
One supreme Almighty Lord.
Verse 2
Thou sittest on the throne
Plurality in One:
Saints behold thine open face,
Bright, insufferably bright;
Angels tremble as they gaze
Sink into a sea of light!
Verse 3
Ah, when shall we increase
Their heavenly extasies!
Chant, like them, the Lord most-high,
Fall like them who dare not move,
Holy, holy, holy cry,
Breathe the praise of silent love!
Verse 4
Come, Father, in the Son,
And in the Spirit down,
Glorious, Tri-une majesty,
God thro’ endless ages blest,
Make us meet thy face to see,
Then receive us to thy breast.
