One! One! One! art Thou,
Judge and King and God alone:
Thee we worship, and allow
None to share Thy glory—none!
Great, great, great, art Thou,
Undivided greatness Thine:
Other gods we disavow;
None but Thee we own divine.
Wise, wise, wise, art Thou;
Wise beyond our highest thought:
Nought, when at Thy throne we bow,
Shall distract our praises—nought!
Good, good, good, art Thou;
Thine th’unfathomable sea
Where each thought that fills us now
Is o’erwhelmed with thoughts of Thee.
Great, wise, good, art Thou!
Thou our God that reign’st alone:
Consecrate Thy servants’ vow,
Incommunicable One!
(John Bowring)
