Tbee, Holy Son, adore ;
Tbee, Spirit of Truth and Holiness,
We worship evermore.
For Believers Rejoicing. .249
4 The incommunicable right,
Almighty God ! receive,
Which angel-choirs, and saints in light,
And saints embodied, give.
5 Three Persons equally divine
We magnify and love ;
And both the choirs ere long shall join,
To sing thy praise above.
6 Hail! holy, holy, holy Lord,
(Our heavenly song shall be,) .
Supreme, essential One, adored
In co-eternal Three !
HYMN 260. 1's.
1 TTOLY, holy, holy Lord,
-H- God the Father, and the Word,
God the Comforter, receive
Blessings more than we can give :
Mix'd with those beyond the sky,
Chanters to the Lord Most High,
We our hearts and voices raise,
Echoing thy eternal praise.
2 One, inexplicably Three,
One, in simplest Unity,
God, incline thy gracious ear,
Us, thy lisping creatures, hear :
Thee while man, the earth-born, sings.
Angels shrink within their wings ;
Prostrate Seraphim above
Breathe unutterable love.
3 Happy they who never rest,
With thy heavenly presence blest !
They the heights of glory see,
Sound the depths of Deity !
'ZOV For Believers Rejoicing.
Fain with them our souls would vie ;
Sink as low, and mount as high ;
Fall o'erwhelm'd with love, or soar ;
Shout, or silently adore !
1 /^OME, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
^^ Whom one all-perfect God we own,
Restorer of thine image lost,
Thy various offices make known ;
Display, our fallen souls to raise,
Thy whole economy of grace.
2 Jehovah in three Persons, come,
And draw, and sprinkle us, and seal,
Poor, guilty, dying worms, in whom
Thou dost eternal life reveal ;
The knowledge of thyself bestow,
And all thy glorious goodness show.
3 Soon as our pardon'd hearts believe
That thou art pure, essential love,
The proof we in ourselves receive
Of the Three Witnesses above ;
Sure, as the saints around thy throne,
That Father, Word, and Spirit, are One.
4 O that we now, in love renew'd,
Might blameless in thy sight appear :
Wake we in thy similitude,
Stamp'd with the Triune character :
Flesh, spirit, soul, to thee resign ;
And live and die entirely thine !
For Believers Rejoicing. £*) I
