The sharers of my victory, Made perfect, and thro' sufferings meet, Myself will grant to sit with me: Come up at my right-hand to sit; Your warfare's past, your work is done: Come up to my eternal throne. "To US there is but ONE GOD, THE FATHER." 1 Cor. viii. 6. "MY LORD, and MY GOD." John xx. 28. One God to us, there is but One: The Father comprehends the Son, Alike eternally ador'd; And Jesus is our God and Lord: One God the Father well we name The nature, which in Christ the same, The same we in the Spirit see, One glorious God in Persons Three. Page 26 One Lord in Jesus we admire, But not exclusive of his Sire: One God we in the Father own, But not exclusive of his Son: That Spirit, our Almighty Lord, We worship as the glorious Third; Yet not three lords or gods confess, But One in Three for ever bless. "Call no man your father upon earth, for ONE is YOUR FATHER which is in heaven." Matt. xxiii. 9. Our heavenly Father is but One With that paternity In which the Father and the Son And Holy Ghost agree: Each Person of the Tri-une God, May his own creature claim, For each impress'd the earthy clod With his own awful name. Father, and Son, and Spirit join'd In the creating plan, Each is the Maker of mankind, And doth his work sustain: The Spirit breath'd his life into Our animated clay, And he begets our souls anew, And seals us to that day. Our common head in Christ we see, Our heavenly Adam praise, The Father of eternity, And all the faithful race: His promise to the conqueror is, Who the good fight hath won, "His God, I will be always his, And he shall be my son." Page 27 Children of God who Christ receive, Our privilege we know, The resurrection's children live, The Saviour's seed below: "I am the resurrection, I The life eternal am!" And never shall his children die Who trust in Jesus' name.
