Religion
A Doxology
From The Poetical Works (1899)
Oh awful, mystic, Three-and-One —
The Father, Holy Ghost, and Son !
Other in person and in name :
In life and nature, God, the same.
The Father, first — the only Son —
The Spirit, mingling Three-in-One ;
All, gathered in their sole abode,
The very and eternal God.
There, when our day of peace began,
Throned in their midst, Behold the Man !
Jesu ! the God who died, was he —
The Second of the awful Three.
Then fame and honour ever be,
In heaven, to God, the Trinity !
On earth, let equal praise be done,
And worship we the Three and One.
