Representative Text

1 Let heav'n and earth agree,
The Father's praise to sing,

Who saves us hear, and prays above,
That we with him may live.

3 Be everlasting praise
To God the Spirit given,
Who now attests us sons of grace,
And seals us heirs of heaven.

4 Drawn, and redeem'd and seal'd,
We'll sing the One in Three,
With Father, Son, and spirit fill'd,
To all eternity.
