From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Jesus, Thou art the mighty God,
The Child and Son on us bestow'd,
Jehovah born on earth, in Thee
The everlasting Sire we see,
And all Thy church triumphant sings.
The Prince of peace, the King of kings.

Thou art the co-eternal Son,
In substance with Thy Father one,
In person different we proclaim,
In power and majesty the same,
For Him in Thee we magnify,
And Thee in Him, the Lord most high.

No vain distinction we confess
Betwixt a greater God and less;
No inequality there is.
But His are Thine, and Thine are His.
And Thee we on Thy Father's seat
One glorious God for ever greet.
