Religion

The Father, Son, and Spirit dwell
By faith in all His saints below,
And then in love unspeakable
The glorious Trinity we know
Created after God to shine,
Fill'd with the plenitude Divine.
exxx.

God the Father His whole will
Doth to sinful man reveal,
( k)d tin- co-eternal Son
Makes His heavenly counsel known,
All th.' mysteries of grace
( lod the Holy Ghost displays.

One revealing Deity
We confess in persons three,
Guide of His enlighten'd sons,
Teacher of the simple ones:
Lord, to Thee our souls we bow —
Speak, Thy servants hearken now!
