Watts, Isaac, 1674-1748

"Hymns and Spiritual Songs"


3 Give to the Spirit praise
Of an immortal strain,
Whose light and power and grace conveys
Salvation down to men.
4 While God the Comforter
Reveals our pardon'd sin,
O may the blood and water bear
The same record within.
5 To the great One and Three
That seal this grace in heaven,
The Father, Son, and Spirit, be
Eternal glory given.

Hymn 3:29. 2d. L.M.
1 Glory to God the Trinity
Whose name has mysteries unknown;
In essence One, in person Three;
A social nature, yet alone.
2 When all our noblest powers are join'd
The honours of thy Name to raise,
Thy glories over-match our mind,
And angels faint beneath the praise.

Hymn 3:30. 2d. C. M
1 The God of mercy be ador'd,
Who calls our souls from death,
Who saves by his redeeming word,
And new-creating breath.
2 To praise the Father and the Son
And Spirit all divine,
The One in Three, and Three in One,
Let saints and angels join.

Hymn 3:31. 2d. S. M.
1 Let God the Maker's name
Have honour, love and fear,
To God the Saviour pay the same,
And God the Comforter.
2 Father of lights above,
Thy mercy we adore,
The Son of thy eternal love
And Spirit of thy power.
