Today the Church Commemorates the Holy Trinity

Having celebrated the greatest event in God's history of salvation, the death and resurrection of the Son of God, we pause a bit at the Feast of the Holy Trinity to consider the essence of God.  Certainly the essence of God is beyond our weak comprehension, but He has graciously revealed Himself to us as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  When we want to summarize all the Holy Scripture says about God as our Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier, we call Him the Holy Trinity.  Even beyond the glorious summary of the person and work of God found in the Creeds, to speak of God as the holy Trinity says at one time all the many things that the Scriptures say about God.  Our worship never ceases confessing our faith in the triune God and giving glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.  Amen.

A Wonderful Trinitarian Hymn 

Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
    Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
    God in three persons, blessèd Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
    Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
    Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.

Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
    Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
    Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
    All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
    God in three persons, blessèd Trinity!
