Three in Yin an Yin in Three

Written by: Mark Thompson. Inspired by the Rev Moses Thompson who used to stand in as substitute minister at the United Free Church of Scotland at Ballyfrenis, Co. Down in the 1940s. His catchphrase was “Three in Yin an Yin in Three – but the middle Yin He deed for me” and he said it many times in every sermon he preached.

Three in Yin an Yin in Three
But the middle Yin He deed for me
Noo ma sins is far awa
In Jesus’ een A’m white as snaw
There’s naethin mair fer me tae dae
Fer in His Word He telt me sae
Three in Yin an Yin in Three
But the middle Yin He deed for me
