Page 80 Reason asks, how can it be? But who by simple faith embrace, We shall know the mystery, And see him face to face. "The Father RAISETH up the dead, and QUICKNETH them." John v. 21. "Even so the SON QUICKNETH whom he will." Ibid. "It is the SPIRIT that QUICKNETH." Ibid., vi. 63. Fountain of life divine The Three in One we know, The Father, Son, and Spirit join To quicken all below; Each Person of the Three The breath of lives inspires; And then we rise our God to see, And do what he requires. Spiritual life t' impart The Father's power we feel; The Son doth the same power exert And quickens whom he will: The quick'ning Spirit stirs Infusing his own grace; And the whole Trinity concurs, Me from the dead to raise. "They shall all be TAUGHT of GOD." John vi. 45. "Neither was I TAUGHT it but by the revelation of JESUS CHRIST." Gal. i. 12. "The Comforter the Holy SPIRIT will TEACH you all things." John xiv. 26. God our teacher we embrace; He his will to man reveals: Every lesson of his grace Father, Son, and Spirit seals: Page 81 Truth the God of truth imparts; Our instructor from above Writes his law upon our hearts, Law of liberty and love. He makes known the mystery, Gives us simply to believe Three are One, and One is Three, Whom our faithful hearts receive; There he sheds his love abroad; Then beyond conception blest, Image of the Tri-une God, We like him for ever rest. "Truly our FELLOWSHIP is with the FATHER." 1 John i. 3. "And with his Son JESUS CHRIST." Ibid. "The FELLOWSHIP of the HOLY GHOST be with you all." 2 Cor. xiii. 14. Our fellowship, who Christ profess, Is with the Father and the Son, And Spirit of true holiness; In Person Three, in nature One, One undivided God we know, And walk, and talk with God below. Who intimate communion feel With God our guide and bosom-friend, He doth to us the secret tell Which reason could not comprehend, And Three unutterably One He dwells in all his saints alone. "GOD is IN YOU of a truth." 1 Cor. xiv. 25. "CHRIST is IN YOU." 2 Cor. xiii. 5. "The SPIRIT dwelleth with you, and shall be IN YOU." John xiv. 17.
