CXXIII.

[He is our Life, the Lord our God]

Love the Lord thy God, for He is thy Life. Deuteronomy xxx. 20.

When Christ who is our Life shall appear. Colossians iii. 4.

The Spirit is Life. Romans viii. 10.

He is our Life, the Lord our God:
Our Father's love we find,
Who being graciously bestow'd
On us, and all mankind:
Jesus our Life alike we own,
Our Life eternal here
Conceal'd, and by the world unknown;
But He shall soon appear.
The Spirit is Life, we know and feel
Who life to us imparts;
And God doth in three persons dwell
For ever in our hearts:
Our Life is One: a Trinity
In Unity we love,
And gladly die from earth, to see
His face unveil'd above.
