Lord of hosts, upon thy throne, Thy face the prophet view'd, Prais'd a Trinity in One Sublime, Almighty God: Page 92 Still from every saint of thine Accept the adoration given, Glorious majesty divine, Who fillest earth and heaven. To: "Hearts of stone, relent, relent!" Father, Son, and Spirit, hear Thy apostate creature's groan, Languishing to find thee near, Worshipping a God unknown, Light 'till in thy light I see, Know eternal life in thee. Creeds and books can nothing do, Unaccompanied by grace; Grace must form my soul anew, Give me to discern thy face, Bring my faithful heart the power God in Persons Three t' adore. But thou drawst me after thee, But thou dost my heart incline, Helping its infirmity Now to ask the grace divine: Now this unbelief remove, Tell me now that thou art love. Father, manifest thy Son, Son, to me the Father show, Holy Comforter, make known The deep things of God below, Sovereign, Tri-une God, impart All thy fulness to my heart. To: "With pity, Lord, a sinner see." All hail mysterious Trinity! Every Person of the Three In my salvation meets: Page 93 The Father draws me to the Son, Accepts for Jesus' sake alone, And all my sins forgets. The Son his cleansing blood applies, Breaks my heart, and bids me rise A penitent forgiven: The Holy Ghost his witness bears, Numbers me with the royal heirs, And gives a taste of heaven. The Father multiplies my peace, Jesus doth my faith increase, And teaches me to pray; The Spirit purifies my heart, And makes me, Saviour, as thou art, And seals me to thy day. Thus, only thus I surely know God was manifest below The God of pardoning grace, Whom saints in Persons Three admire, Whom I with all that heavenly quire World without end shall praise. To: "Rejoice, the Lord is King." Worship and praise belong To God the Lord most high: Who taught us the new song His name we magnify, The Trinity in One we bless, The Unity in Three confess. Not from our creeds alone The doctrine we receive: Jehovah Three in One, He gives us to believe, Page 94 The God of truth himself imparts, And writes his name upon our hearts.
