19. The Doctrine and Use of the Trinity

1 Father of glory, to thy name
Immortal praise we give,
Who dost an act of grace proclaim,
And bid us rebels live.

2 Immortal honor to the Son,
Who makes thine anger cease;
Our lives he ransomed with his own,
And died to make our peace.

3 To thy Almighty Spirit be
Immortal glory given,
Whose influence brings us near to thee,
And trains us up for heaven.

4 Let men, with their united voice,
Adore th'eternal God,
And spread his honors and their joys
Through nations far abroad.

5 Let faith and love and duty join,
One general song to raise;
And saints in earth and heaven combine
In harmony and praise.
