The triune Jehovah we praise

Representative Text

1 The triune Jehovah we praise,
In essence eternally one,
Who has, by the word of his grace,
His counsels eternal made known;
The Father, the Spirit, and Word,
As three in one God, and no more,
In Zion’s salvation accord;
Then let us this one God adore.

2 No change can take place in his mind;
His counsels are settled of old;
To Zion he’ll ever be kind,
And to her his glory unfold.
Though men, sin, and devils unite
To drive the believer to hell,
Jehovah will put them to flight,
And Zion shall surely prevail.

3 In Jesus, and Jesus alone,
The church stands for ever complete;
And whilst he remains on his throne,
He will not the weakest forget;
They’re his and shall ever be his,
And with him in glory shall reign,
The triune Jehovah to bless,
For ever and ever. Amen.
