Hymns on the Trinity, 108

The heavenly three their record bear,
The Father, Word, and Holy Ghost,
Each doth to us of Christ declare,
That, Lord of the celestial host,
He came by water and by blood,
The very and eternal God.

The Father owns Him from the skies,
"This is My well-beloved Son!"
Still of Himself He testifies,
The faithful Witness on His throne,
Jehovah's attributes and names
Jesus, the Lord Almighty claims.

The Spirit testifies of Him,
And gives us faithfully to call
Jesus, the Lord and God supreme,
Whose streaming blood hath ransom'd all:
That blood the Spirit of Christ applies,
that blood of God who never dies.

The bather. Son, and Spirit agree
To make the truth of ( iodhead known:
The heavenly Witnesses are three,
In will and testimony ( ne;
One ( k)d in nature and in power
World without end His saints adore.
