Hymns on the Trinity, 123

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

He is our Life, the Lord our God:
Our Father's love we find,
Who being graciously bestow'd
On us, and all mankind:
Jesus our Life alike we own,
Our Life eternal here
Conceal'd, and by the world unknown;
But He shall soon appear.

The Spirit is Life, we know and feel
Who life to us imparts;
And God doth in three persons dwell
For ever in our hearts:
Our Life is One: a Trinity
In Unity we love,
And gladly die from earth, to see
His face unveil'd above.
