Hymns on the Trinity, 121

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Holy is our God alone,
God the Father and the Son,
Holy we the Spirit esteem
God omnipotent, supreme.
Manifest in persons three,
God through all eternity.

In each person we revere
God's authentic character;
Praise in each the Holy One
Bright on His eternal throne,
The great God we glorify,
Bless the name of the Most High.

God by nature we confess
Pure essential holiness:
God inhabiting the heart
All our holiness Thou art,
Thou art here to sinners given.
All our holiness in heaven.
The Trinity in Unity. 2 Hi)
