London-, Nov 9, 1830. HYMN 561. c. m. Hymn to God the Father'. 1 TTAIL, Father, whose creating call A ■*■ Unnumber'd worlds attend ; Jehovah, comprehending all, Whom none can comprehend ! 2 In light unsearchable enthroned, Whom angels dimly see ; The fountain of the Godhead own'd, And foremost of the Three. 3 From thee, through an eternal now, The Son, thine offspring, flow'd ; An everlasting Father thou, An everlasting God. 4 Nor quite display'd to worlds above, Nor quite on earth conceal'd ; By wondrous, unexhausted love, To mortal man reveal'd. 5 Supreme and all-sufficient God, When nature shall expire ; Hymns of Adoration. And worlds created by thy nod Shall perish by thy fire 6 Thy name, Jehovah, be adored By creatures without end ; Whom none but thy essential Wora And Spirit comprehend. HYMN 562. 2-6'* §• 4-7's. The Trinity in Unity. 1 TTAIL, co-essential Three, Al In mystic Unity ! Father, Son, and Spirit, hail ! God by heaven and earth adored, God incomprehensible ; One supreme, almighty Lord. 2 Thou sittest on the throne, Plurality in One : Saints behold thine open face, Bright, insufferably bright ; Angels tremble as they gaze, Sink into a sea of light. 3 Ah ! when shall we increase Their heavenly ecstasies ? Chant, like them, the Lord most high Fall like them who dare not move ; " Holy, holy, holy," cry, Breathe the praise of silent love ? 4 Come, Father, in the Son And in the Spirit down ; Glorious Triune Majesty, God through endless ages blest, Make us meet thy face to see, -- Then receive us to thy breast. Hymns of Adoration. 527 HYMN 563. fs §• 6V. %< TAe //o/y Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge Thee." 1 /~^ RE AT is our redeeming Lord, ^J In power, and truth, and grace, Him, by highest heaven adored, His church on earth doth praise : In the city of our God, In his holy mount below, Publish, spread his name abroad, And all his greatness show. 2 For thy loving-kindness, Lord, We in thy temple stay ; Here thy faithful love record, Thy saving power display : With thy name thy praise is known, Glorious thy perfections shine ; Earth's remotest bounds shall own Thy works are all divine. 3 See the gospel church secure,
