Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 18

I o — "Sinners, obey the gospel-word."

The Witnesses in heaven adored.
The Father, Holy Ghost, and Word,
One God with all His church we own.
In persons three fur ever one.
I I ompare fbid, line 440.

But till our souls are born again,
We to the truth assent in vain,
By notions right ourselves deceive,
And only fancy we believe.

The Triune God we cannot know,
Unless He doth the faith bestow,
Faith which removes our mountain-load,
And brings us to a pardoning God:

Sure evidence of things unseen,
Which swallows up the gulf between,
The Light Of Life Divine imparts,
And forms Jehovah in our hearts.

O that we all might thus believe,
The truth in humble love receive,
Author of faith our Saviour find
In God the Father of mankind;

In both the Holy Spirit know,
(Who doth where'er He listeth blow,)
And the whole Trinity receive
For ever in our hearts to live!
