Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday and give thanks for God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a day in which the church celebrates the mystery of God, that God is one in three and three in one all at once.

The text from the mid-1960s represents an important moment in the broadening
of human awareness, as the achievements of modern science and the widespread
increase in urban development affected with new urgency how people understood
themselves and their place in the world.

This tuneful retelling of the salvation story began in Swedish and was translated
into German and then in Russian before reaching its English form. Despite such
linguistic and musical revisions, it continues to be a meaningful source of comfort
to many people.
