The Trinity

 THREE IN ONE, ONE IN THREE, GOD OF MY SALVATION,

Heavenly Father, blessed Son, eternal Spirit,
      I adore you as one Being, one Essence,
  one God in three distinct Persons,
  for bringing sinners to thy knowledge and to
    thy kingdom.
O Father, you have loved me and sent Jesus to
    redeem me;
O Jesus, you have loved me and assumed my
    nature,
  shed your own blood to wash away my sins,
  wrought righteousness to cover my
    unworthiness;
O Holy Spirit, you have loved me and entered
  my heart, implanted there eternal life,
  revealed to me the glories of Jesus.
Three Persons and one God, I bless and praise you,
  for love so unmerited, so unspeakable,
  so wondrous, so mighty to save the lost
  and raise them to glory.
O Father, I thank you that in fullness of grace
  you have given me to Jesus, to be his sheep,
    jewel, portion;
O Jesus, I thank you that in fullness of grace
  you have accepted, espoused, bound me;
O Holy Spirit, I thank you that in fullness of
  grace you have
    exhibited Jesus as my salvation,
    implanted faith within me,
    subdued my stubborn heart,
    made me one with him for ever.
O Father, you are enthroned to hear my prayers,
O Jesus, your hand is outstretched to take my
    petitions,
O Holy Spirit, you are willing to help my
  infirmities, to show me my need,
  to supply words, to pray within me,
  to strengthen me that I faint not in
    supplication.
O Triune God, who commands the universe,
  you have commanded me to ask for those
    things that concern your kingdom and my soul.
Let me live and pray as one baptized into the
  threefold Name.
