Hymns on the Trinity, 89
From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
Let Us, saith the Lord, descend,
Let Us their designs confound.
Bring them to a shameful end,
Cast their castles to the ground;
Rebels, who the Three in One
Dare with learned pride deny,
By a Babel of their own
Confident to reach the sky.
Be it so, Thou glorious God,
Three in One, and One in Three,
Able to abase the proud
Come with all Thy majesty:
Men who Arian blasphemies
Dare the scripture-doctrine name,
Let their dire delusion cease,
Sink to hell from whence it came.
