Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 15

To — " Jesus, dear departed Lord"

God unsearchable, unknown,
Persons three, but essence one,
Thee I gladly would receive,
Would Thine oracles believe:
Searching them by night and day,
Here I for instruction stay,
Still I read and reason right,
Still require a clearer light.

Reason can no farther go,
Forced its own defect to show:
God incomprehensible
Only can Himself reveal:
Triune majesty Divine,
Thou into my darkness shine,
Now unfold the mystery,
Let there now be faith in me.
