Hail, Father, Son, and Spirit, great

Verse 1
Hail Father, Son, and Spirit, great
Before the birth of time,
Inthron’d in everlasting state
JEHOVAH ELOHIM!
A mystical plurality
We in the Godhead own,
Adoring One in Persons Three,
And Three in nature One.

Verse 2
From thee our being we receive
The creatures of thy grace,
And rais’d out of the earth we live
To sing our Maker’s praise:
Thy powerful, wise, and loving mind
Did our creation plan,
And all the glorious Persons join’d
To form thy fav’rite, man.

Verse 3
Again thou didst, in council met,
Thy ruin’d work restore,
Establish’d in our first estate
To forfeit it no more:
And when we rise in love renew’d,
Our souls resemble thee,
An image of the Tri-une God
To all eternity.
