Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity, 50
From Hymns and Prayers to the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
Triune God of pardoning love,
Thy Divine economy
All our thankful hearts approve,
Thee adore in persons three;
Each our cancell'd sin reveals,
Each confirms the babes forgiven.
Each the heirs of glory seals,
Each conducts our souls to heaven.
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
Favour'd with a taste of grace,
Us Thou hast in part restored;
Us Thy mercy's arms embrace:
Never wilt Thou let us go,
Till the length and breadth we prove,
Till the height and depth we know,
All the depth of humble love.
Love our real holiness,
Love our spotless character,
Love is liberty and peace,
Pardon, and perfection here:
Less than this cannot suffice;
Love be Thou our all in all;
Then we in Thine image rise,
Then we into nothing fall.
