Trindade Santíssima

The hymn 'Trindade Santíssima' by Hinário Presbiteriano Novo Cântico is a profound expression of reverence and adoration for the Holy Trinity. The repeated exclamation of 'Santo! Santo! Santo!' (Holy! Holy! Holy!) emphasizes the absolute holiness and perfection of God. This repetition is a common feature in Christian hymns, symbolizing the completeness and ultimate sanctity of the divine. The lyrics highlight God's omnipotence, justice, compassion, and eternal nature, painting a picture of a God who is both mighty and merciful.

The hymn acknowledges human sinfulness and the awe that God's glory inspires. The line 'Nós, os pecadores, Não podemos ver tua glória sem temor' (We, the sinners, cannot see your glory without fear) reflects the biblical theme of human unworthiness in the face of divine purity. Despite this, the hymn reassures believers of God's immense love and sovereignty, portraying Him as a perfect and compassionate ruler who is deeply involved in His creation.

Furthermore, the hymn unites all of creation in worship. It speaks of 'todos os remidos' (all the redeemed) and angels joining together to proclaim God's praise. This universal call to worship underscores the idea that God's glory is recognized and celebrated by all of creation, from the beginning of time to eternity. The hymn concludes with a reaffirmation of God's eternal presence and the continuous praise of His works, encapsulating the essence of Christian worship and the acknowledgment of God's supreme authority and love.
