Praise to the Trinity
A Reflection on 2 Corinthians 13:14, Matthew 28:19, and Revelation 4:8
Praise to the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Three in One, the eternal, the heavenly host.
Not three gods, but one divine essence,
A mystery of love, a holy, radiant presence.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Corinthians 13:14)
Praise to the Father—the source of all that is,
The King eternal, immortal, invisible, His.
He spoke the word, and the worlds were formed.
He breathed His breath, and our spirits warmed.
Praise to the Son—the Word made flesh,
The Lamb who was slain, the glorious fresh
Resurrection morning, the stone rolled away,
The light that conquers darkness, the eternal day.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)
Praise to the Spirit—the breath of the Divine,
The Counselor, the Comforter, the inward, living sign.
He fills, He guides, He teaches, He seals,
He makes the love of God in our hearts real.
Praise to the Trinity—not a division, but a dance,
A perfect, loving, sovereign, holy romance.
The Father plans, the Son fulfills, the Spirit applies,
And the Triune God is glorified in our eyes.
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,” who was and is and is to come! (Revelation 4:8)
So I worship You, O God—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
You are the one I love, the one I trust the most.
Praise to the Trinity—my song, my prayer, my creed.
In You I live, and move, and have my being, indeed.
Amen.
