The Lord our God is One
Spirit and Father and Son
Unity and Trinity I AM
God-and-man, Lion, and Lamb
I speak and the formless takes shape
The boundless I bind with a drape
Light from darkness I call to come forth
Eastern King from the sides of the North
In flesh, both bondslave and free
The Lens through which blinded eyes see
The Word which in silence is heard
Wisdom perceived as absurd
In a mystery the Truth is revealed
By the scourge and the lash wounds are healed
Through death life eternal is gained
By faith the impossible attained
Kings and priests from the common I raise
By infants and sucklings I'm praised
The wisdom of sages I mock
Precious jewels I hew from the Rock
Both Beginning and Ending I AM
I, the secret and hidden exam'
From the water I bring forth the fire
Giving all I gain my desire
