Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 29

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Religion

i The Father freely justifies,
The Son His pardoning power asserts.
The Holy Ghost that blood applies
Which purifies believing hearts;
32G Hymns and Prayers
Yet God who sin forgives alone
In persons three is only one.

Thou Triune God of pardoning love,
On me Thy kind compassion show,
By faith begotten from above,
And call'd assuredly to know
The blessings by three persons given,
The peace of God, the pledge of heaven.

Jehovah come! Thyself reveal,
To save a soul so dearly bought,
The peace and joy unspeakable,
The love surpassing human thought;
Thrice holy God, to me impart,
With all Thou hast, and all Thou art.
