[verse 5 is printed separately under 639b and 639c] 6 I bind unto myself the name, the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three, of whom all nature hath creation, Eternal Father, Spirit, Word. Praise to the Lord of my salvation: salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen.

For Christ the cross ascended to save a world undone, and, suffering for the sinful, our full redemption won. 3 Down in the realm of darkness he lay a captive bound, but at the hour appointed he rose, a victor crowned; and now, to heaven ascended, he sits upon the throne in glorious dominion, his Father's and his own. 4 Glory to God the Father, the unbegotten One; all honour be to Jesus, his sole-begotten Son: and to the Holy Spirit -- the perfect Trinity. Let all the worlds give answer. 'Amen, so let it be'. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Christian Year Ascension; Martyrs; Salvation and Redemption Used With Tune: MOVILLE
