Page 66 The everlasting Spirit fill'd, And Jesus our salvation seal'd. Senders and sent we praise, With equal thanks approve Th' economy of grace, The Tri-une GOD of love, And humbly prostrated before The One Thrice holy God, adore! "Seek ye out of the book of the Lord and read ... for MY mouth it hath commanded, and HIS SPIRIT it hath gathered them." Isa. xxxiv. 16. Read all and understand Th' essential Three in One, My mouth hath utter'd the command, His Spirit it hath done, Hath gather'd by his call The vultures to their prey, To execute my wrath on all In that vindictive day. "The LORD bless thee and keep thee: The LORD make his face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace." Num. vi. 24, c. Jehovah, God the Father, bless, And thy own work defend, With mercy's outstretch'd arms embrace, And keep us to the end: Preserve the creatures of thy love, By providential care Conducted to the realms above To sing thy goodness there. Page 67 Jehovah, God the Son, reveal The brightness of thy face, And all thy pardon'd people fill With plenitude of grace: Shine forth with all the deity Which dwells in thee alone, And lift us up thy face to see On thine eternal throne. Jehovah, God the Spirit, shine, Father and Son to show, With bliss ineffable divine Our ravish'd hearts o'erflow; Sure earnest of the happiness Which human thought transcends, Be thou our everlasting peace, When grace in glory ends. Thy blessing, grace, and peace we claim, Great God in Persons Three, The incommunicable name Ascribing now to thee: We soon shall join that harping host, And sing, thy saints among, To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost The new, eternal song. "Baptizing them in the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY GHOST." Matt. xxviii. 19. Baptiz'd into One only name The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One nature we in Three proclaim, One God for our salvation trust: One God eternally abides, One undivided Trinity, And the whole Deity resides In each of the mysterious Three.
