CXXVI.

[God our Teacher we embrace]

They shall all be taught of God. John vi. 45.

Neither was I taught it but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians i. 12.

The Comforter the Holy Spirit will teach you all things. John xiv. 26.

God our Teacher we embrace;
He His will to man reveals:
Every lesson of His grace
Father, Son, and Spirit seals:

Truth the God of truth imparts;
Our Instructer from above
Writes His law upon our hearts,
Law of liberty and love.
He makes known the mystery,
Gives us simply to believe
Three are One, and One is Three,
Whom our faithful hearts receive;
There He sheds His love abroad;
Then beyond conception bless'd,
Image of the Triune God,
We like Him for ever rest.
