To — " "Jesus, show us Thy salvation.''

Fountain of Divine compassion,
Father of the ransom'd race,
Christ, our Saviour and salvation,
Spirit of consecrating grace;
See us prostrated before Thee;
Co-essential Three in One,
Glorious God, our souls adore Thee
High on Thine eternal throne.

While we in Thy name assemble,
Overshadow'd from above,
Let us at Thy presence tremble,
Holy, Triune God of love:
Father, Son, and Spirit, bless us,
Who the true Jehovah art:
Plenitude of God in Jesus,
Enter every contrite heart.

Challenge now Thine humble dwelling,
O Thou high and lofty One,
Thy own Deity revealing,
God in persons three come down:
Thou, the Witnesses in heaven,
Dost on earth Thy record bear:
Show us here our sins forgiven,
Show us all Thy glory there.
