Hymns on the Trinity, 70
From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
God of all consolation,
The Holy Ghost Thou art,
Thy secret inspiration
Hath told it to my heart:
The blessing I inherit,
Through Jesus' prayer bestow'd,
The Comforter, the Spirit,
The true eternal God.
With God the Son and Saviour,
With God the Father one,
The tokens of His favour
Thou mak'st to sinners known,
An antepast of heaven
Thou dost in me reveal,
Attest my sins forgiven,
And my salvation seal.
The' indubitable Witness
Of Thy own Deity,
Thou giv'st my soul its fitness
Thy glorious face to see:
Thy comforts, gifts, and graces
My largest thoughts transcend,
And challenge all my praises,
When faith in sight shall end.
