Page 121 Impregnable the city Which hides my life above; My refuge is thy pity, My safety is thy love. Spirit of consolation And all-sufficient grace, In every strong temptation Thou shalt a standard raise Against my foe infernal, And shew me on the tree The dying God eternal Whose blood hath ransom'd me. By faith I now inherit Both strength and righteousness, In Father, Son, and Spirit, The God whom I confess: Whate'er I ask, desiring, I have; I surely have The Three in One conspiring This dear-bought soul to save. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Sav'd by thee Happy we Shall thy throne inherit: Here our heavenly banquet tasting, In thy love Joys we prove Ever, ever lasting. Rapturous anticipation! Who believe We receive Sensible salvation; Page 122 Silent bliss and full of glory, In thine eye While we lie Prostrated before thee. Manna spiritual and hidden, Perfect peace We possess, Our recover'd Eden: 'Till we find the fulness given In that sight, Mercy's height, Love's sublimest heaven! In majesty One, In glory the same The Father and Son And Spirit we name; One nature and essence In Three we assert, Whose personal presence Is fixt in our heart. The Trinity we Alone can attest, Who carry the Three And One in our breast; Who seal'd by his Spirit, And wash'd with his blood, In Jesus inherit The fulness of God. Wisdom, and praise, and glory be To God alone in Persons Three, Who to his church the truth imparts, And seals it on our happy hearts. Page 123 The Lord of hosts, the Lord most high, The Tri-une God we magnify, With all his prostrate hosts adore, And love, and praise him evermore. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, One stupendous God in Three, Make us meet thy joy t' inherit, Thee without a veil to see, Wise to fathom All the depths of deity. Father, kindly draw, and give us To thy consubstantial Son; Son of God, with smiles receive us, Shine, and make thy nature known; Glorious Spirit, Be our heaven on earth begun. Thou to thine apostate creature Only canst thyself reveal; Stronger than our heart and greater, Tri-une God, the secret tell: Come, Jehovah, God in man for ever dwell.
