Although it isn’t one of the most eminent in the Christian calendar, Trinity Sunday focuses on,
“the doctrine of a triune Godhead [which] is central to our Christianity” (Nigel Beeton).
It marks the beginning of “Ordinary Time” and takes us through to the beginning of Advent. At this point, the liturgical colour turns to Green, with the exception of Patronal Saints days and Remembrance Sunday.
The Trinity
Praise to the Father and the Son
And to the Holy Ghost.
Praise to the Holy Trinity
From Earth and Heaven’s Host;
For they shall be eternally
A triune mystery!The Father God, creative one
Who gave the world its form,
He knew us from the mists of time
Ere we were even born.
He made us all and it was He
Who lit the earth’s first dawn!“Let there be Light”, the Word of God
He spoke and it was done!
Though He was God, He took our flesh
As Jesus, God’s own Son.
He came to earth and died for us
And life o’er death He won!The Spirit broods on waters deep –
No depth too deep for Him.
He breathes into the soul of man
And leaves no room for sin.
We’ll live with Him eternally
If we just let Him in!Praise to the Father and the Son

And to the Holy Ghost.
Praise to the Holy Trinity
From Earth and Heaven’s Host;
For they shall be eternally
A triune mystery!
