Pneumatology Trinity
And tell the wonders he hath done, Through all their land : The listening spheres attend, And swell the growing fame ; And sing, in songs which never end, The wondrous Name. 2 The God who reigns on high The great archangels sing ; And, " Holy, holy, holy," cry, " Almighty King ! Who was and is the same, And evermore shall be; •Jehovah, Father, Great I AIM, We worship Thee." 61 ~2 The Experience, SfC., 3 Before the Saviour's face, The ransom 'd nations bow ; O'erwhelm'd at his almighty grace, For ever new : He shows his prints of love, -- They kindle to a mime ! And sound through all the worlds above, The slaughter' d Lamb. 4 The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high ; " Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," They ever cry : Hail, Abraham's God, and mine! (I join the heavenly lays,) All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise. HYMN 672. l. m. " They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength : they shall run, and not be weary" 1 \ WAKE, our souls ! away, our fears ! ^~^- Let every trembling thought be gone ! Awake, and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint ; But they forget the mighty God, That feeds the strength of every saint. 3 O mighty God, thy matchless power Is ever new, and ever young; And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 From Thee, the ever-flowing Spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply ; of Believers. 613 While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as the eagle cuts the air, We '11 mount aloft to thine abode ; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire along the heavenly road. HYMN 6/3. s. m. Trust in Providence. COMMIT thou all thy griefs And ways into his hands, To His sure truth and tender care, Who earth and heaven commands. 42 Who points the clouds their course, Whom winds and seas obey ; He shall direct thy wandering feet, He shall prepare thy way. 3 Thou on the Lord rely, So safe shalt thou go on ;
