[Come Father, Son, and Holy Ghost]
Come Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Restorer of Thine image lost,
The flaming sword remove;
Teach me Thine image to regain,
And to my docile heart explain
The mystery of love.
Restorer of Thine image lost,
The flaming sword remove;
Teach me Thine image to regain,
And to my docile heart explain
The mystery of love.
I now perceive Thy love's design;
Thou didst again in council join,
Thy name to re-impress,
Anew Thy creature to create,
And raise me to my first estate
In perfect righteousness.

To execute Thy kind intent,
Jehovah from Jehovah sent
Left His eternal throne,
A Man of griefs, He stain'd the tree,
Saviour of all, He laid for me
The precious ransom down.

The Spirit purchased with His blood,
By Father and by Son bestow'd
Doth now in man reside;
For us He strongly intercedes,
Us into all Thy counsel leads
Our sure indwelling Guide.

Pardon He on our conscience seals,
Thy good and welcome will reveals
To save a world by grace:
He marks us for salvation's heirs,
And moulds and fashions, and prepares
To see Thine open face.

He marks us for salvation's heirs,
And moulds and fashions, and prepares
To see Thine open face.
He sanctifies, without respect
Of high or low, His own elect,
Regenerate from above,
Into Thy glorious form converts,
And stamps Thine image on our hearts
In purity and love.

O wouldst Thou stamp it now on mine
The name and character Divine,
The holy One in Three!
Come, Father, Son, and Spirit, give
Thy love,—Thyself: and lo! I live
Imparadised in Thee.
