XLVIII.

[Triune God, the New-Creator]

Triune God, the New-Creator
Of our fallen souls appear,
O communicate Thy nature,
Raise us to Thy image here,

343

In true holiness renew'd,
Spotless portraitures of God.
By a bless'd anticipation
Of Thy perfect righteousness,
Qualify us for salvation
Vessels of celestial grace,
Meet by love and purity
God without a veil to see.
Then cut short our days of mourning,
Then our ready souls receive,
Call us up with songs returning
In Thy blissful sight to live,
Live, and praise Thee on the throne,
God in three for ever one.
