Hymns on the Trinity, 26
From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
To destroy idolatry,
God was manifest below;
God we in our Saviour see,
None beside Himself we know:
Christ the con substantial Son,
Worshipp'd by His heavenly choir,
Him we magnify alone,
One with His eternal Sire.
No inferior God we praise,
No dependent Deity:
The whole Godhead we confess
Resident, O Christ, in Thee:
Praise Divine whoe'er allow,
Worship to a creature given,
To Thine only name we bow,
Sovereign Lord of earth and heaven.
Jesus, call to mind Thy word
Standing as the mountains fast,
All idolatry abhorr'd
O abolish it at last;
Root it out of every heart
All that doth our Lord disown,
Then our only Lord Thou art
High on Thine eternal throne.
