Hymns on the Trinity, Hymn 1

i The Lord of Hosts Himself alone
Worthy to be revered we own,
By earth and heaven adored:
Let all the one true God proclaim,
Worship the dread Jehovah's name,
Bow down to Christ the Lord.

A sanctuary the faithful find,
A refuge from the storm and wind.
In Christ the Lord most high:
But who refuse on Him to call,
Shall on the Stone of stumbling fall,
And unconverted die.

Rock of offence at first He was:
And Christians stumbling at the cross
Deny whom Jews denied:
They will not know that Christ is He,
Or the supreme Jehovah see
In Jesus crucified.
But Jesus to His church is known.
Jesus the precious Corner-stone,
By Israel disallow'd;
Jehovah seen, and manifest,
God over all for ever bless'd,
Thou art my Lord my God!
