HYMN XVI. TRINITY SUNDAY.
If Jesus be reveal'd,
There is no truth conceal'd
For honour or for awe,
That tends to drive or draw
To the hope of heav'nly bliss,
From the dread of hell's abyss.
There is no truth conceal'd
For honour or for awe,
That tends to drive or draw
To the hope of heav'nly bliss,
From the dread of hell's abyss.
If oracles be mute,
And every dull dispute
Of ostentatious gloom
In Athens or in Rome;
We should, sure, amend our ways
By submission, pray'r and praise.
And every dull dispute
Of ostentatious gloom
In Athens or in Rome;
We should, sure, amend our ways
By submission, pray'r and praise.
O THREE! of blest account
To which all sums amount,
For if the church has two
The work of pray'r to do,
God himself, th'Almighty word,
Will be there to make the third.

Will be there to make the third.
One Lord, one faith, one font,
Are all good christians want
To make the fiend retreat,
And build the saint compleat;
Where the Godhead self-allied,
Faith, hope, charity reside.
Are all good christians want
To make the fiend retreat,
And build the saint compleat;
Where the Godhead self-allied,
Faith, hope, charity reside.
Man, soul and angel join
To strike up strains divine;
O blessed and ador'd,
Thine aid from heav'n afford;
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY THREE,
Which in One, as One agree.
To strike up strains divine;
O blessed and ador'd,
Thine aid from heav'n afford;
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY THREE,
Which in One, as One agree.
For angel, man and soul
Make up upon the whole,
One individual here,
And in the highest sphere;
Where with God he shall repose,
From whose image first he rose.

Ye books, that load the shelves,
To lead us from ourselves,
Where things, in doubt involv'd,
Are rather made than solv'd;
Render to the dust and worm
All ye question or affirm.
To lead us from ourselves,
Where things, in doubt involv'd,
Are rather made than solv'd;
Render to the dust and worm
All ye question or affirm.
Ye poets, seers and priests,
Whose lore the spirit feasts,
And keep the banquet on,
From Moses ev'n to John;
On your truth I will regale,
“Which is great and must prevail.”

The Trinity is plain,
So David's psalms maintain,
—Who made not God his boast
But by the HOLY GHOST;
Thence prophetick to record
All the suff'rings of the Lord.
So David's psalms maintain,
—Who made not God his boast
But by the HOLY GHOST;
Thence prophetick to record
All the suff'rings of the Lord.
Yet all the Scriptures run
That God is great and one,
Or else there is no cause
Of nature or her laws;
To controul and comprehend
All beginning, course and end.
That God is great and one,
Or else there is no cause
Of nature or her laws;
To controul and comprehend
All beginning, course and end.
