Sonnet for the Trinity

O Holy, everlasting Father God,
O Thou who made the earth and heav'n above,
Who rescued Israel, gave them Jesse's rod:
Rule over us, and seal us with Thy love.
O Jesus Christ, the Savior, perfect lamb,
Born of a virgin, Son of God and Man,
Who died for us, incarnate great I AM:
Stand by our sides, our brother, in the van.
O Holy Spirit, giver of our life,
Inspired breath from God to fire clay,
Who helps us pray the groanings of our strife:
Come dwell in us, inspire our hearts today.
O Holy, perfect Trinity in One,
We worship Thee, the Father, Spirit, Son.
