Christology Trinity Pneumatology
Each Person properly divine, Co-equal in majestic power, With all his heavenly host we join The great Jehovah to adore: And worshipping the Tri-une God In confidence of humble love, We soon shall reach his bright abode, And see his open face above. "The LORD direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of CHRIST." 2 Thess. iii. 5. Come Holy Ghost, thou Lord most high, The veil of unbelief remove, And in us Abba Father cry, And lead our hearts into his love; Our hearts into his patience lead Whose blood hath wash'd our sins away, And perfected like Christ our head, Seal and preserve us to that day. "The grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, and the love of GOD, and the communion of the HOLY GHOST be with you all." 2 Cor. xiii. 14. The grace of Jesus Christ our Lord Thro' all eternity ador'd, The Father's love to us be given, The Holy Ghost sent down from heaven, His endless benefits impart, And dwell in every faithful heart. Blest be the sacred Three in One! We make Jehovah's glory known, Their equal majesty confess; No Person greater is, or less, None after other, or before, But the same God for evermore. Page 69 "There are THREE that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, the WORD, and the HOLY GHOST: and these THREE are ONE." 1 John v. 7. The heavenly Three their record bear, The Father, Word, and Holy Ghost, Each doth to us of Christ declare, That, Lord of the celestial host, He came by water and by blood, The very and eternal God. The Father owns him from the skies "This is my well-beloved Son!" Still of himself he testifies, The faithful witness on his throne, Jehovah's attributes and names Jesus, the Lord Almighty claims. The Spirit testifies of him, And gives us faithfully to call Jesus, the Lord and God supreme, Whose streaming blood hath ransom'd all: That blood the Spirit of Christ applies, That blood of God who never dies. The Father, Son, and Spirit agree To make the truth of Godhead known: The heavenly witnesses are Three, In will and testimony One; One God in nature and in power World without end his saints adore. "One cried unto another, and said; HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS the LORD OF HOSTS." Isa. vi. 3. See also Rev. iv. 8.
