Aeti xxii. 14. The God (if our fathers hath chosen n
thou shouldst know I lis w 11,1.

Tin. will of God is Jesus' will
Electing Paul, his Lord to s
To know His counsel, and fulfil
A glorious, gospel minisi
The will of God the Spirit's is,
Who moved the holy men of old,
By them proclaim'd approaching peace,
And all good things in Christ foretold.

Father, and Son, and Spirit join
To make the joyful secret known,
The love unsearchable, Divine,
Of One in Three, and Three in One:
This is the counsel of His grace,
That Him we here by faith should see,
Should see above His glorious face,
And gaze to all eternity.
