XXII. The Doctrine of the Trinity, and the Use of it

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 ransom'd with his own,
And dy'd 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.
