We lift our hearts to Thee
From Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
We lift our hearts to Thee,
Jehovah on Thy throne,
Co-equal, co-eternal three,
In will and nature one:
With all the sons of grace
We in Thy worship join,
Plurality of persons praise,
And Unity Divine.
The Father made of none
We bow our souls before,
And Christ His uncreated Son
With equal zeal adore:
Transcending human thought
Jehovah's self is He.
I ncomprehensibly begot
From all eternity.
God, very God indeed
The Holy Ghost, we know,
From Son and Father did proceed,
And life on man bestow:
With Son and Father Him
Alike we glorify,
Jehovah, the true God, supreme
O'er all in earth and sky.
This glorious Trinity
We worship evermore:
None less, or greater of the three,
None after or afore:
The persons three are one;
And who by faith embrace,
We soon on His triumphant throne
Shall see Him face to face.
