With Hearts Renewed

With hearts re­newed

and cleansed from guilt of sin

Send we our voic­es peal­ing to the skies;

Let a pure con­science ec­ho joy with­in

And all our pow­ers in emu­la­tion rise:

To Fa­ther

Son and Ho­ly Spir­it’s praise

Three whom one es­sence joins

One an­them here we raise.

Maker of all

the Fa­ther un­cre­ate

Of Him from ev­er­last­ing born

the Son

And the blest Spir­it of co-eq­ual state

From both pro­ceed­ing

are of sub­stance one:

So in this Tri­nity the Per­sons three

One per­fect Be­ing are

One God

one Ma­jes­ty.

Yet

none the less

each Per­son of the Trine

God

in His at­tri­butes dis­tinct

we own;

Vainly would rea­son grasp the things di­vine

Man can but bend ador­ing at God’s throne:

O may the Fa­ther

Son and Spir­it be

Our help in time of need

Our joy eter­nal­ly.
