Hymns for Love, 18

What is that mysterious Name
Which faithful souls receive?
Ignorant, alas, I am,
Till Thou Thy Spirit give:
P'ulness of the Deity,
Jesus, tell me who Thou art.
Tell Thy Father's name to me,
And write it on my heart.

Who my nature didst partake,
A sharer, Lord, of Thine,
Me, even me, vouchsafe to make,
Thou Character Divine;
All Thy glorious goodness show,
And when Thou dost the veil remove
Then, and not till then, I know
That Thou, my God, art Love.

Spirit of revelation,
Jehovah, Thee we own:
Make by Thy inspiration
To us the Father known:
Of Jesus testifying.
His Deity assert.
His blood Divine applying
To every longing heart.

With love beyond expression
Bless each expecting soul,
And take entire possession,
And consecrate the whole;
By Thy own signet seal us
Thy permanent abode.
With all the graces fill us,
With all the life of God.

The Earnest and the Witness,
Vouchsafe in us to dwell,
And give the blissful meetness
For bliss ineffable;
With heavenly joy transported
We then our course shall run,
By angel-hosts escorted
To the eternal throne.
