PRAISE ADDRESSED TO THE ADOR-
ABLE TRINITY IN UNITY.

The Incomprehensibility of God. L.M.
Job xi. 7.

OD is a name my soul adores

4 These radiant Crowns we owe to Thee, These robes with blood made white, Our glorious immortality,

GT almighty Three, Th'eternal One! 3

Nature and grace, with all their powers,
Confess the infinite Unknown.

2 From Thy great self Thy being springs:
Thou art Thy own original,
Made up of uncreated things,
And self-sufficience bears them all.

3 Thy voice produc'd the seas and spheres,
Bid the waves roar and planets shine:
But nothing like Thyself appears
Through all these spacious works of Thine.
4 Still restless nature dies and grows;
From change to change the creatures run;
Thy being no succession knows,
And all Thy vast designs are one.

5 Thrones and dominions round Thee fall,
And worship in submissive forms;
Thy presence shakes this lower ball,
This little dwelling-place of worms.
6 How shall affrighted mortals dare
To sing Thy glory or Thy grace?
Beneath Thy feet we lie so far,
And see but shadows of Thy face.
7 Who can behold the blazing light?
Who can approach consuming flame?
None but Thy wisdom knows Thy might,
None but Thy Word can speak Thy name.
I. WATTS, 1707.

And all this holy light.

[blocks in formation]

HERE'S not a ray of glory known,
Around the great Jehovah's throne,
Which my Redeemer does not wear,
Proclaiming His own Godhead there.
2 The Father's glories, all divine,
In Jesus meet-in Jesus shine-
Expressly like and truly one,
Is God the Father, and the Son.
3 All pow'r and wisdom, love, and grace,
Are seen in our Immanuel's face;
All glorious in the Father's view,
The brightness of His glory too.

4 The fulness of the Godhead dwells
In Jesus-and heav'n's chorus swells,
With hallelujahs to the Lamb,
While saints on earth adore His name.
J. IRONS, 1825.

HA

Holy is the Lord of Hosts.

Isa. vi. 3.

AIL, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord;
Be endless praise to Thee,
Supreme, Essential One, adored
In co-eternal Three!

Isaiah's sacred vision showed
The seraphs veil their wings,

While Thee, Jehovah, Lord, and God,
Th' angelic army sings.

C.M.

3 To Thee, by shining powers on high,
Were hallowed praises given,
When John beheld, with raptured eye,
Th' inhabitants of heaven.

4 There all the holy, happy ones
To Thee in hymus aspire;
We too, as angels on our thrones,
Shall join the blissful choir.

5 Hail, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!
Be endless praise to Thee,
Supreme, Essential One, adored
In co-eternal Three.

A. TOPLADY, 1759.

L.M.

The mystery of God. Col. ii. 2.
comprehend the great THREE-ONE

To geet angels can,

Or what the Trinity has done

From death and hell to ransom man.
2 But all true Christians this may boast
(A truth from nature never learn'd),
That Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
To save our souls are all concern'd.
3 The Father's love in this we find;
He made His Son our sacrifice;
The Son in love His life resign'd;
The Holy Ghost His blood applies.
4 Thus we the Trinity can praise

In unity, thro' Christ our King;
Our greateful hearts and voices raise
In faith and love; while thus we sing:
5 GLORY to God the Father be;

Because he sent His Son to die:
Glory to God the Son; that He
Did with such willingness comply:

6 Glory to God the Holy Ghost,

Who to our hearts this love reveals.
Thus God Three-One to sinners lost
Salvation sends, procures, and seals.
J. HART, 1759.

Praise to the Trinity. Eph. i. 17.

ATHER, we glory in Thy choice;

FATH

L.M.

SAVIOUR, We in Thy work rejoice;
O, HOLY GHOST, Thy pow'r we sing;
Thou, TRIUNE GOD, art Zion's King.
2 FATHER, 'tis in Thy love we rest;

SAVIOUR, in Thee our souls are blest;
O, HOLY GHOST, Thy pow'r we own,
Which made Jehovah's glory known.
3 The FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST,
Ador'd by all the heav'nly host,
Is Zion's triune GoD and KING;
Let all the church His glory sing.
J. IRONS, 1825.

The shouts of triumph yonder,
The plaintive songs of earth,
Flow from the Spirit's presence;

Both own a heav'nly birth.

3 The precious blood of Jesus
Is now within the veil-
Yonder Thy saints behold it,
We too by it prevail!
Upon each shining forehead
I read the Saviour's name,
While we, now pressing forward,
Bear on our brows the same!

4 O wondrous, living union;

The saints are one with Thee,
Thou fountain of their being,
Mysterious Trinity;

No power on earth,-or Satan

Can separate Christ's sheep,
For which he gave the ransom,

And which He's pledged to keep.
5 Then teach us, Lord, to worship
With loving hearts to-day,
And whilst we sing Thy praises,
And learn in faith to pray,
Help us to feel our union
With all who know Thy name,
And glory in Jehovah,
Unchangeably the same.

W. PENNEFATHER, 1871.

The Trinity. Eph. i. 3.

OF Israel's cov'nant, God I boast,

As part of Israel's stock,
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Are my eternal rock.

2 Of Him belov'd before the fall—
Through Him salvation came-
To Him I owe my life, my all,—
All glory to His name.

3 Of Him I gain a right to heav'n-
Through Him I'm justified-
To Him my helpless soul is giv'n;
And with Him glorified.

7.6. 4 Of Him I love to speak and sing-
Through Him I've joy and peace-
To Him my guilt and shame I bring,
And triumph in His grace.

5 Of Him I daily grace receive-
Through Him my joys abound-
To Him I bow, in Him believe,-
With Him I shall be crown'd.

6 My Father's everlasting love-
My Saviour's precious name-
My Teacher's unction from above,
Let all the Church proclaim.

C.M.

J. IRONS, 1825.
