XCIX.
[“Leave the stump and roots behind”]
And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree, roots, &c.
Daniel iv. 26.
“Leave the stump and roots behind”
A heavenly Watcher cried!
But by their command we find
The number multiplied:
One pronounces the decree;
A Watcher, and an Holy One,
Watchers, Holy Ones is He,
Who His strange work hath done.
God from hence, the God supreme
We One and Many know:
Every act that flows from Him
Doth from Three persons flow:
Spoke by three is every word:
And prostrate at Thy throne of grace,
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
The Triune God we praise.
