HYMNE
1 PART
Ask not how the thing can be,
But adore the Mysterie
THREE IN ONE & ONE IN THREE.
But adore the Mysterie
THREE IN ONE & ONE IN THREE.
Faiths Eye does not double see,
But treble, yet in Unitie
Seeing ONE it seeth THREE.
But treble, yet in Unitie
Seeing ONE it seeth THREE.
The Sacred Knot's the Deitie
Tied up close in Unitie
Yet tied up in Persons THREE.
Tied up close in Unitie
Yet tied up in Persons THREE.
2D PT.
O TRIPLE UNITIE
We humbly offer Thee
One Songs Triplicitie.
We humbly offer Thee
One Songs Triplicitie.
As Thou art One may We
All One together be,
And One at length with Thee.
All One together be,
And One at length with Thee.
So shall our harmonie
By no time measured be,
But by Eternitie.
By no time measured be,
But by Eternitie.

3D PT.
For when this brittle voice shall be
Cracked by our Mortalitie,
Our Hearts shall cleerer sing to Thee:
Cracked by our Mortalitie,
Our Hearts shall cleerer sing to Thee:
When hence we are released to see
The beams of thy Divinitie,
We shall be cheerlyer being free.
The beams of thy Divinitie,
We shall be cheerlyer being free.
Then next thy Angells Harmonie
Our Prayses shall resound to Thee
Which We will tune by their high Key Halalujah.
Our Prayses shall resound to Thee
Which We will tune by their high Key Halalujah.
