Religion

Thee, Son of the Most-High,
Jesus we glorify
In Thy Father's bosom laid.
Thou dost all His secrets know,
Partner of our nature made
Dost declare His name below.

With eyes of faith we see
The' Invisible in Thee,
When Thou dost Thy Sire reveal,
Then I know Thee who Thou art.
Find the great Unsearchable,
God residing in my heart.

Thou dost the Spirit confer,
The heavenly Comforter;
Thus the triune God of love
God of glory we receive,
Antedate the joys above,
Here the life eternal live.
