HAIL, co-essential Three,
By A Collection of Hymns

      2-6s & 4-7s. Hymn to the Trinity.
      1 HAIL, co-essential Three,
      In mystic Unity!
      Father, Son, and Spirit, hail!
      God by heaven and earth adored,
      God incomprehensible;
      One supreme, almighty Lord.

      2 Thou sittest on the throne,
      Plurality in One:
      Saints behold thine open face,
      Bright, insufferably bright;
      Angels tremble as they gaze,
      Sink into a sea of light.

      3 Ah! when shall we increase
      Their heavenly ecstasies?
      Chant, like them, the Lord most High,
      Fall like them who dare not move;
      "Holy, holy, holy," cry,
      Breathe the praise of silent love?

      4 Come, Father, in the Son
      And in the Spirit down;
      Glorious Triune Majesty,
      God through endless ages blest,
      Make us meet thy face to see,
      Then receive us to thy breast.
