X. [Triumph, happy soul, to whom]

[_]

To—“Happy Magdalene, to whom.”

Triumph, happy soul, to whom
God the heavenly secret tells,
Father, Son, and Spirit come,
One in Three Himself reveals!
What from man thou couldst not know,
Thou art truly taught of God,
When He doth the faith bestow,
Wash thee in thy Saviour's blood.

Fully certified thou art
By that sacred blood applied,
He who dwells within thy heart,
God, the great Jehovah died:
Now, and not till now thou know'st
(Mystery learnt by faith alone)
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
God in persons three is one.

308

God in persons three, appear
God to every troubled breast,
Show Thyself the Comforter,
Be the weary sinner's rest:
Stranger to Thy people's peace,
Burden'd with our sins we groan;
Come, that all our griefs may cease,
Take possession of Thy own.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Heal Thy creature's misery;
Thee, the pearl which Adam lost,
Give us to recover Thee,
Give us in pure love renew'd
Higher by our fall to rise,
Image of the Triune God,
House of One who fills the skies.
