Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 40
From Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
One stupendous God in three,
Make us meet Thy joy to' inherit,
Thee without a veil to see,
Wise to fathom
All the depths of Deity.
Father, kindly draw, and give us
To Thy consubstantial Son;
Son of God, with smiles receive us,
Shine, and make Thy nature known;
Glorious Spirit,
Be our heaven on earth begun.
Thou to Thine apostate creature
Only canst Thyself reveal;
Stronger than our heart and greater,
Triune God, the secret tell:
Come, Jehovah,
God in man for ever dwell.
