Hymn to the Trinity Sons of Belial, hear the cry, Loud as ye our God defy; You can glory in your shame, Shall not we our God proclaim? You can brave th' eternal laws, Zealous in your Master's cause; Jesu! Shall thy servants be Less resolv'd and bold for thee? No, tho' men and fiends exclaim, Sing we still in Jesu's name; Jesus will we ever bless, Thee before thy foes confess. Silent have we been too long, Awed by earth's rebellious throng; Should we still to sing deny, Lord, the very stones would cry Hallelujah! Hymn to the Trinity.43 Fountain of deity, Father, all hail to thee! Ever equally ador'd, Hail the Spirit, and the Son, Holy, holy, holy Lord, One in Three, and Three in One. 43This and the following six short hymns reappear as the opening of Gloria Patri (1746).
