The Lord, and the eternal Word

Verse 1
The Lord, and the eternal Word
We our Creator see,
The Spirit of his mouth concur’d
And gave the worlds to be:
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
God in Three Persons One,
Created that celestial host,
And made our earth alone.

Verse 2
‘I by myself the heavens expand,
And spread the earth abroad!’
All things sprang forth at the command
Of One Almighty God:
That One Almighty God, thou art
The glorious Trinity;
Make known the secret to my heart
Reveal thy love in me.
