Firmly I believe and truly God is Three, and God is One; And I next acknowledge duly Manhood taken by the Son. | Simply to His grace and wholly Light and life and strength belong, And I love supremely, solely, Him the holy, Him the strong. |
And I trust and hope most fully In that Manhood crucified; And each thought and deed unruly Do to death, as He has died. | Adoration aye be given, With and through the angelic host, To the God of earth and Heaven, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen. |
Words: John H. Newman, The Dream of Gerontius, 1865.
Music: Shipston, traditional English melody, arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1906
