Hymns on the Trinity, 2

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Religion

O would my God the veil withdraw,
That whom the favour'd prophet saw,
Mine eyes of faith might see,
The Lord by His own light beheld,
The' Invisible on earth reveal'd,
In glorious majesty!

Then would I joyfully proclaim
The Lord of Hosts in Jesu's name,
The only God most high,
The everlasting Father bless,
Jehovah in the Prince of peace,
Whose glory fills the sky.
The' almighty Lord of earth and heaven,
Who to the world His Son hath given.
The mystery reveals,
Existing from Himself alone,
God in the person of His Son
With all His fulness dwells.
