Eternal Father, throned above, Thou fountain of redeeming love

Eternal Father! throned above,
Thou Fountain of redeeming love!
Eternal Word! Who left Thy throne
For man's rebellion to atone;
Eternal Spirit, Who dost give
That grace whereby our spirits live;
Thou God of our salvation, be
Eternal praise paid to Thee.
