Hymns on the Trinity, 97
From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
Ecclesiastes xii. i. Remember thy Creator Heb. Creators
in the days of thy youth.
Remember thy Creators, God
In persons three confess'd,
Who raised thee up a breathing clod,
And with His name impress'd:
The persons three in council join'd
To make His earth-born son:
And, stamp'd with His immortal mind,
He claims thee for His own.
He challenges thy youthful days
Who did thy being give:
Created for His only praise,
For Him rejoice to live;
Transcript of holiness Divine,
The Triune God proclaim,
And spirit, and soul, and flesh resign
To glorify His name.
