Tell abroad God's wondrous Name;
Heaven the ceaseless anthem raises,
Let the earth its God proclaim:
God, the hope of every nation,
God, the source of consolation,
Holy, blessèd Trinity!
This the Name from ancient ages
Hidden in its dazzling light;
This the Name that saints and sages,
Prayed and strove to know aright,
Through God's wondrous Incarnation,
Now revealed the world's salvation,
Ever blessèd Trinity!
Still the Name o’er earth and ocean
Shall be carried,
God is Love,
Whispered by the heart’s devotion,
Echoed by the choirs above,
Hallowed through all worlds forever,
Lord of life the only giver,
Blessèd, glorious Trinity!
Henry A. Martin, 1870; alt.

Clement Cottevill Scholefield, 1874
Seven Years Ago: Lead us, great Creator, lead us
Six Years Ago: Holy! Holy! Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Five Years Ago: I bind unto myself today
Four Years Ago: O Trinity of blessèd light
Two Years Ago: Mighty Creator, merciful and tender
