Hail! Father, Son, and Spirit great, Before the birth of time Enthroned in everlasting state, JEHOVAH, ELOHIM! A mystical plurality We in the Godhead own, Adoring One in Persons Three, And Three in nature One.
From thee our being we receive, The creatures of thy grace; And, raised 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 joined To form thy favourite, man.
Again thou did'st, in council met, Thy ruined work restore, Established in our first estate, To forfeit it no more.
And when we rise in love renewed, Our souls resemble thee, An image of the Triune God, To all eternity.
