Page 82 God of a truth in us resides, Christ is in us both felt and known, In us the Holy Ghost abides: Not three indwelling gods, but One, One true essential deity For ever One in Persons Three. "GOD hath said, I will DWELL in them." 2 Cor. vi. 16. "That CHRIST may DWELL in your hearts." Eph. iii. 17. "His SPIRIT that DWELLETH in you." Rom. viii. 11. The Father, Son, and Spirit dwell By faith in all his saints below, And then in love unspeakable The glorious Trinity we know Created after God to shine, Fill'd with the plenitude divine. "GOD shall REVEAL even this unto you." Phil. iii. 15. "Neither was I taught it but by the REVELATION of JESUS CHRIST." Gal. i. 12. "It was REVEALED unto him by the HOLY GHOST." Luke ii. 26. God the Father his whole will Doth to sinful man reveal, God the co-eternal Son Makes his heavenly counsel known, All the mysteries of grace God the Holy Ghost displays. One revealing Deity We confess in Persons Three, Page 83 Guide of his inlighten'd sons, Teacher of the simple ones: Lord, to thee our souls we bow Speak thy servants hearken now! "GOD who SPAKE unto the fathers by the prophets." Heb. i. 1. "Ye seek a proof of CHRIST SPEAKING in me." 2 Cor. xiii. 3. "It is not ye that SPEAK but the HOLY GHOST." Mark xiii. 11. If of the truth a proof ye seek (The truth ye never can explain) Hear Father, Son, and Spirit speak One God oracular in man; Thus saith the Lord, thus saith the Son, Thus saith the Spirit to all that hear, The One in Three, and Three in One Ye saints, eternally revere. "GOD hath both RAISED UP the Lord, and will also raise us up by his OWN POWER." 1 Cor. vi. 14. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I WILL RAISE IT UP." John ii. 19. "Christ ... being put to death in the flesh, but QUICKENED by the SPIRIT." 1 Pet. iii. 18. The breathless body of our Lord Which once for sinners bled, The blessed Trinity concur'd To raise it from the dead: The Father did his Son restore Uplifting from the grave, And by his own effectual power Life to himself he gave.
