3 Thee, holy Father, we confess; And thee, the Holy Ghost, we bless, 4 Hail! holy, holy, holy Lord, 102 L. M. The glorious goodness of the triune Jehovah. 1OME, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Whom one all-perfect God we own, Restorer of thine image lost, CON Thy various offices make known. 3 Our fallen, ruin'd souls, to raise, 103 One God in three persons. C. M. AIL, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, HAJI One God in persons three; Of thee we make our joyful boast, And homage pay to thee. 2 Present alike in every place, Thy Godhead we adore: 3 In wisdom infinite thou art, 4 Thou lov'st whate'er thy hands have made; 5 Wherefore let every creature give But chiefly, Lord, the thanks receive,- 104 H 5th P. M. 4 lines 7s. The co-eternal Three. OLY, holy, holy Lord, God the Father, God the Word, Blessings more than we can give. 3 Three in one, and one in three, God, incline thy gracious ear; Us, thy lisping creatures, hear. 4 Thee, while man, the earth-born, sings, Angels shrink within their wings; Prostrate seraphim above Breathe unutterable love. 5 Fain with them our souls would vie; Fall, o'erwhelm'd with love, or soar; 105. BLE Co-equal and co-eternal. L. M. LESSING and honour, praise and love, In earth below, in heaven above, 2 Let all who owe to thee their birth, 106 Unsearchable. C. M. HUnnumber a worlds attend; Jehovah, comprehending all, The fountain of the Godhead own'd, 4 Thy Name, Jehovah, be adored Whom none but thy essential Word 107 C. M. Dwelling in light which no man can approach unto. ETE TERNAL Power, Almighty God, Unfading light is thine abode, To mortal man unknown. 2 Before the radiance of thine eye, The heavens no longer shine; And all the glories of the sky Are but the shade of thine. 3 Great God, and wilt thou condescend To cast a look below? To this vile world thy notice bend These seats of sin and wo? 4 How strange, how wondrous, is thy love! Not all the' exalted minds above 5 While golden harps and angel tongues Great God, permit our humble songs 108 0 L. M. Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection? Thee to perfection who can know ? Greatness, whose undiminish'd ray, What lives and moves, lives by thy word, 109 Incomprehensibly glorious. YOD is a Name my soul adores, L. M. One: Nature and grace, with all their powers, 2 Thy voice produced the sea and spheres; Through all these spacious works of thine. 3 Still restless nature dies and grows; And all thy vast designs are one. 4 A glance of thine runs through the globe, 5 How shall polluted mortals dare And see but shadows of thy face. 110 C. M. Such knowledge is too wonderful for us. HALL foolish, weak, short-sighted man S Beyond the angels go, The great Almighty God explain, 2 His attributes divinely soar 3 The brightness of his glory leaves. Nor man's nor angel's heart conceives 4 His grace is most unsearchable, They gaze, but cannot count or tell The treasures of his love. |
