'Tis life, eternal life to know The heavenly Persons mine; Father, and Son, and Spirit, bestow That precious faith divine: A Trinity in Unity My soul shall then adore, And love, and praise, and worship thee Jehovah evermore. "And whereas THEY commanded to leave the stump of the tree, roots, c." Dan. iv. 26. "Leave the stump and roots behind" A heavenly watcher cried! But by their command we find The number multiplied: One pronounces the decree; A watcher, and an Holy One, Watchers, Holy Ones is he, Who his strange work hath done. God from hence, the God supreme We one and many know: Every act that flows from him Doth from Three Persons flow: Spoke by Three is every word: And prostrate at thy throne of grace, Holy, holy, holy Lord, The Tri-une God we praise. "The most high GOD gave to Nebuchadnezzar a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour." Dan. v. 18. "And THEY took his glory from him." Ibid., ver. 20. His kingdom was the gift of God, His glory the Most High bestow'd; And the proud monarch to rebuke, They, they from him the glory took, Page 65 The Three inexplicably One Concur'd to cast him from his throne. Our God, whom One in Three we praise, Can still the arrogant abase, Can vindicate his truth denied By all the towering sons of pride, And bring them down with beasts to dwell, Or level with the fiends of hell. "By the WORD of the LORD were the heavens made, and all the hosts of them by the breath (Heb., SPIRIT) of his mouth." Ps. xxxiii. 6.6 Jehovah the Almighty Lord, Father of Jesus Christ, and ours, The heavens created by his word, And by his breath the heavenly powers: And that essential Spirit divine Whom Jesus breathes into his own, Doth in the new creation join With God and his eternal Son. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Be equal adoration given, Maker of the celestial host, Maker of the new earth and heaven! Joint-Authors of our glorious bliss We soon shall sing the Three in One, And God beholding as he is For ever shout around his throne. "And now the LORD GOD, and his SPIRIT hath sent ME." Isa. xlviii. 16. Jehovah is but One Eternal God and true: The Father sent the Son, His Spirit sent him too, 6Ori., "xxiii. 6"; a misprint.
