CXIV.
[We the Father's law receive]
I myself serve the law of God.
Romans vii. 25.
Fulfil the law of Christ.
Galatians vi. 2.
The law of the Spirit of life.
Romans viii. 2.
There is one Lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy.
James iv. 12.
We the Father's law receive,
The law of Christ fulfil,
Keep the Spirit's law, and live
According to His will;
Live to make the mystery known,
And testify, from sin set free,
God our Lawgiver is one,
But one in persons three.
The law of Christ fulfil,
Keep the Spirit's law, and live
According to His will;
Live to make the mystery known,
And testify, from sin set free,
God our Lawgiver is one,
But one in persons three.
Shall we then with sin comply,
Against our God rebel,
His authority defy
Who can destroy in hell?
He that doth to sin give way,
The glorious Trinity offends,
Treasures up against that day
The wrath which never ends.
Against our God rebel,

Treasures up against that day
The wrath which never ends.
