Matthew 28:19: Great triune God, Thy servants own
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Great triune God, Thy servants own,
And while they make Thy nature known.
Let them Thy promised presence find,
Sent to baptize into Thy name.
Sent a lost world for Thine to claim,
Sent to disciple all mankind:
With signs their high commission seal.
In every ordinance reveal
Thyself, and shed Thy love abroad,
Their apostolic labours crown,
Come Father, Son, and Spirit down.
And fill our universe with God.
