"Baptized into One Name"

Matthew 28:19

Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

As we prepare to celebrate Trinity Sunday, here is a sample of trinitarian theology in the form of poetry by Charles Wesley:

Baptized into one only name

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

One nature we in Three proclaim,

One God for our salvation trust:

One God eternally abides,

One undivided Trinity,

And the whole Deity resides

In each of the mysterious Three.

Each Person properly Divine,

Co-equal in majestic power,

With all his heavenly host we join

The great Jehovah to adore:

And worshipping the Triune God

In confidence of humble love,

We soon shall reach his bright abode,

And see his open face above.
