Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 23

The Deity Trine One Being we name,
Three persons Divine For ever the same,
One absolute nature In all we maintain,
One gracious Creator Of angels and men.

Jehovah is He Substantially love,
The mystical three Who witness above;
Who there His pure essence Displays and conceals;
Whose life-giving presence The universe fills.

Thrice Holy and High, Thy goodness and power
Like those in the sky We fain would adore:
Thy boundless compassion Each moment we prove,
And all our salvation Ascribe to Thy love.

O what shall we do To praise Thee aright?
To make us anew, Appear in our sight,
Discover Thy glory, Thy goodness proclaim,
And prostrate before Thee We worship Thy name.

Thy gifts are bestow'd On all the lost kind:
A merciful God In Thee when we find,
Most freely forgiving, Abundant in grace;
The living, the living We publish Thy praise.

Command us to rise Of pardon possess'd,
With love's paradise Unspeakably bless'd;
Thy forfeited favour Thine image restore,
And bid us for ever Rejoice, and adore.
