An Hymn to God the Holy-Ghost.
I
Hail, Holy-Ghost! Jehovah! ThirdIn Order of the Three,
Sprung from the Father and the Word
From all Eternity!
II
Thy Godhead brooding o'er th' AbyssOf formless Waters lay;
Spoke into Order all that is,
And Darkness into Day.
III
In lowest Hell, or Heaven's Height,Thy Presence who can fly?
Known is the Father to thy Sight,
The Depths of Deity.
322
IV
Thy Pow'r through Jesu's Life display'd,Quite from the Virgin's Womb,
Dying, his Soul an Off'ring made,
And rais'd him from the Tomb.
V
God's Image, which our Sins destroy,Thy Grace restores below,
And Truth and Holiness and Joy
From Thee their Fountain flow.
VI
Hail, Holy-Ghost! Jehovah! ThirdIn Order of the Three,
Thron'd with the Father and the Word,
Through all Eternity!
