Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 26

i Thou unsearchable Three,
Whom I languish to see,
Attend to my suppliant groan:
Thou know'st my sad case,
With my lips I confess,
But adore a Jehovah unknown.
For redemption I call,
Immersed in my fall,
Overwhelm'd with a mountain of night:
Still unanswer'd I pray
For a pitiful ray
From the true inaccessible Light.
O Father, on me
(While I feel after Thee)
Let the light of Thy countenance shine
In Immanuel's face,
In the Spirit of grace,
In the fulness of mercy Divine.
Thou alone didst inspire
This impatient desire
Of a knowledge I cannot attain,
Till Thyself Thou reveal,
And I joyfully feel
I am born in Thy image again.
Nothing here can relieve
Till Thyself I retrieve
By a mystical birth from above:
Come Father, and Son,
With the Comforter down
In the likeness of heavenly love.
To enlighten and cheer
A lost sinner, appear,
Holy Triad, in glory arise,
In the person of Him
Who died to redeem,
And ensure me a place in the skies.
