Hymns on the Trinity, 132

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

The breathless body of our Lord
Which once for sinners bled,
The blessed Trinity concurr'd
To raise it from the dead:
The Trinity in Unity. 29o
The Father did His Son restore
Uplifting from the grave,
And by His own effectual power
Life to Himself He gave.

The Spirit quickening Him, again
His soul and body join'd;
And lo, in that immortal Man
The Triune God we find:
Each of the three is God alone,
The One almighty Lord,
One from eternity, and One
World without end adored.
