Hymns on the Trinity, 38

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

One God to us, there is but One:
The Father comprehends the Son,
Alike eternally adored;
And Jesus is our God and Lord:
One God the Father well we name
The nature, which in Christ the same,
The same we in the Spirit see,
One glorious God in persons three.

One Lord in Jesus we admire,
But not exclusive of I lis Sire:
One God we in the Father own,
But not exclusive of His Son:
That Spirit, our almighty Lord.
We worship as the glorious third;
Yet not three Lords or Gods confess.
But One in Three for ever bless.
