Hymn 124. s. M.

ET God the Father live

Sinners from his first love derive
The ground of all their songs.
2. Ye saints, employ your breath
In honour of the son,

Who bought your souls from hell and death,
By off'ring up his own.

3. Give to the spirit praise

Of an immortal strain,

Whose light, and pow'r and grace conveys
Salvation down to men.

4. While God the comforter
Reveals our pardon'd sin,
O may the blood and water bear
The same record within.

5. To the great one in Three,

That seal this grace in heav'n, The Father, Son, and Spirit, be Eternal glory giv❜n.

Hymn 125. P. M.

1. GIVE immo

To God the Father's love,
For all
my comforts here,
And better hopes above :
He sent his own Eternal son

To die for sins that man had done.
2. To God the son belongs
Immortal Glory too,

Who bought us with his blood

From everlasting woe:

And now he lives, and now he reigns,
And sees the fruit of all his pains.

Makes the dead sinner live : His work completes the great design, And fills the soul with joy divine.

4. Almighty God! to thee

Be endless honours done,
The undivided Three,

And the mysterious One:

Where reason fails with all her pow'rs, There faith prevails, and love adores.

Be endless praise to thee!

In co-eternal Three.

2. Enthron'd in everlasting state,
Ere time its round began,
Who join'd in counsel to create
The dignity of man.

3. To whom Isaiah's vision shew'd,
The seraphs veil their wings,
While thee, Jehovah, Lord, and God,
Th' angelic army sings.

4. To thee, by mystic pow'rs on high
Were humble praises given,
When John beheld with favour'd eye,
Th' inhabitants of heaven!

5. All that the name of creature owns,
To thee in hymns aspire;

May we as angels on our thrones
For ever join the choir!

6. Hail, holy, holy, holy Lord!
Be endless praise to thee;
Supreme, essential One, ador'd
In co-eternal Three.

HEE, father of men and angels we praise, Whose wonders are seen in nature and grace, Throughout thy creation whose goodness we prove, And boundless compassion and infinite love.

Whose passion alone hath purchas'd our peace;
With cherubs before thee and seraphs we fall,
And prostrate adore thee the Saviour of all.

Who guidest us right to mansions of love,
Whose hallowed graces for heaven prepare;
We pay thee our praises 'till glorify'd there.

And fashion'd like thee transcendantly shine,
The personal essence be bold to explain,
And wrapt in thy presence eternally reign.

And send the promise down.

O Christ the spirit give.
