To — ' ' Ye servants of God."

Omnipotent God, Eternal I am,
We publish abroad Thy wonderful name,
We worship before Thee Who reignest alone,
And prostrate adore Thee, Three persons in one.

Jehovah entire In each we confess,
And gladly admire Thy mystical grace,
The persons agreeing To make and renew,
To give us our being, And ransom us too.

Begotten again, And born from above,
We join in the plan Of infinite love;
Son, Father, and Spirit Our Saviour we see,
And glory inherit Through faith in the three.

To Thee on the throne We lift up our voice,
In Father and Son, And Spirit rejoice,
With anticipation Of purest delight,
And all our salvation Enjoy in Thy sight.
