Saved by the Son, the Lord our God Jehovah's fellow we proclaim, Who washes us in his own blood, To us declares his Father's name, His nature pure, his love imparts, With all his fulness to our hearts. "Behold I send MY messenger before THY face, to prepare THY way before THEE." Matt. xi. 10. "Behold, I send MY messenger, to prepare the way before ME." Mal. iii. 1. A personal distinction see Betwixt the Father and the Son! Yet is the filial Deity With the paternal Godhead One: A different Person we confess Jesus whom all his saints admire, Whom all his host celestial praise, One and the same with God the Sire. Page 9 The Persons unconfus'd abide, The Godhead undivided lives: The wisdom hid from learned pride To babes and little ones he gives; Jehovah who in Jesus dwells His whole divinity imparts, To souls prepar'd his Son reveals, And sends his Spirit into our hearts. "They TEMPTED and provoked the MOST HIGH GOD." Ps. lxxviii. 56. "Neither let us TEMPT CHRIST, as some of them also tempted." 1 Cor. x. 9. Who tempted Christ, the faithless race Tempted, and anger'd the Most High: And still we in the wilderness His Spirit grieve, his wrath defy, Jehovah's fellow who disown, And would the filial God dethrone. But give us thro' thy Spirit's power, Jesus, aright to call thee Lord, Thee, the One sovereign God t' adore, Thy Father's uncreated Word, The second Person of the Three Who was from all eternity. "He that hath the bride, is THE BRIDEGROOM." John iii. 29. "Thy Maker is thine HUSBAND, the LORD OF HOSTS is his name." Isa. liv. 5. Bridegroom of his church, and head, And husband is the Lord, By the universe he made Acknowledg'd and ador'd, Page 10 The One God for ever blest, Supreme, omnipotent I AM, God made flesh, and manifest On earth in Jesus' name.
