A Vision Bringeth Peace
In heavenly climes abiding
Yes! Where true love is residing
Comes a messenger of peace
To earth cometh to bring relief.
What is majesty without
The crown of endeavour?
When all surround is hostile
To the comfort
That Our Lord is providing.
Praise to that heavenly host!
Where within are found the most
Blessed Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Whatever the time of year,
These lovely presences are near
To all humanity to bring Light within.
So praise to the Host,
Praise to the Omnipotent Three
Whose dear hearts seek you and me
Praise then to the glorious throng
In whose care humanity does belong;
Praise to the Holy Ghost
For our three love the most
To stretch a hand to this grieving world
No Satan be truly hurled
Forever in that pit!
God’s truth makes an arrow of proof
Such a hit is the Holy Three to proclaim
Yes: honour and praise the Holy Name;
Bring peace on Earth
The saints and angels cry,
And we shall enjoy the by-and-by;
Peace until this world of pain
In heavenly ways we humans surely will
See the rain of righteousness and glee –
Yes, all peace to you and me.

The host is the bread or wafer used in the Christian ritual of the Eucharist. The word is derived from the Latin "hostia" (sacrificial victim). Theologically, the sacrifice of Jesus ended the need blood sacrifice. The Trinity is the single God in 3 persons, the father, the son (Jesus), and the holy ghost (holy spirit). Although the concept came from various Biblical passages, the Greek word "trias" (the number 3 or a set of three) was 1st used ca. 170 by bishop Theophilus of Antioch, but Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus, in the early 3rd century, was the 1st to use the Latin "trinitas" and to define that the 3 aspects of God were "one in essence — not one in Person." However, since then the exact nature of the relationship has been variously defined by different denominations.
