THE TRI-UNE: GOD.

148. The Trinity Celebrated, " The name of the Father, the So!, and the Holy

Ghost.”—Matt. 28. (C. M.)
I HAIL, holy, holy, Holy Lord,

Whom one in three we know,
By all the heavenly host ador'd,

By all thy church below.
2 Thee, holy Father, we confess,

Thee, holy Son, ador,
Thee, spirit of truth and holiness,

We worship evermore.
3 Shine forth with all the deity,

Which dwells in theę alone,
And lift us up thy face to see,
On thy eternal throne !

Lauding the Trinity ** The grace of our Jesus Christ, and the love of

God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be

with you all."-2 Cor. 13. (P. M.) 1 HOLY, blessed, glorious three,

One from all eternity,
Make us vessels of thy grace,

Ever running o'er with praise.
2 Thee we laud with grateful song,

Sever'd from the guilty throng,
Ransom'd by thy Son who died,
By thy spirit sanctified.

3 O that we thy love might taste,

Bless us, and we shall be blessed,
Cleanse us, Lord, from sin's abuse,

Fit us for the master's use.
4 In our hearts thy temples dwell,

With the hope of glory fill ;
Be on earth our guest divine,
Then in heaven we shall be thine.

The Sacred Three adored.
“There are three that bear record in heaven, the

Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost."
: Jno. 5.

(L.M.) I TO Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

Equal in wisdom, grace, and power, Let heaven's innumerable host

And earth's dispersed tribes adore. 2 Ye children of the Father's choice,

And purchase of the Saviour's blood,
Seal'd by the spirit, now rejoice,
And bless and praise the triune God.

Benefits confer'd.
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the
Father, through Sanctification of the Spirit,
unto obedience, and sprinkling of the blood of
Jesus Christ."- Peter 1.

(L.M., I BLESSED be the Father and his love,

To whose celestial source we owe Rivers of endless joy above,

And rills of comfort here below.

2 Glory to thee, great Son of God,

From whose dear wounded body rolls A precious stream of vital blood,

Pardon and life for dying souls. 3 We give, the sacred spirit praise,

Who in our hearts of sin and woe, Makes living springs of grace arise,

And into boundless glory flow. 4 Thus God the Father, God the Son,

And God the Spirit we adore, That sea of life and love unknown, Without a bottom or a shore.

The Day Spring.
“The day spring from on high hath visited un

Luke 1. 1 ALL hail, redeeming Lord,

Sweet day spring from on high, All bail, thou sun of righteousness,

With all thy vital joy. 2 Shine, lovely star of day,

Around and in us shine,
And our benighted souls shall own,

Thy light and love divine.
Our wandering footsteps guide,

Through all this' desert place,
Beneath thy beams we'll trace the paik,

Of purity and peace.

Death's vale shall lose its gloom,

Cheer'd with thy vital ray,
And open to our longing eyes

The road to perfect day.

The Star of Bethlehem. 4 They saw the star and rejoiced with exceeding

great joy." -Matt. 2. (L.M.) I ONCE on the raging seas I rode,

The storm was loud-the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd-and rudely blow'd

The wind that toss'd my found'ring bark. Deep horror then my vitals froze,

Death struck, I ceas’d the tide to stem, When suddenly a star arose,

It was the star of Bethlehem!
2 It was my guide, my light, my all,

It bade my dark forebodings cease,
And through the storm and dangers thrall

It led me to the Port of Peace.
Now safely moor’d-my perils o'er,

I'll sing first in night's diadem,
For ever, and for ever more,
The star! the star of Bethlehem!

154. The Star seen by Seamen. I am the bright and morning star."-Rev. 88.

(L.M.) IWE sing the bright and morning star,

Jesus, the source of light and love, His purest rays, diffus'd

from far, Conduct us to the realms above.

2 Midst gloomy darkness spread aboard,

This light directs the seaman's way, Still, as he sails, he finds the road,

That leads him safe to endless day 3 When shall we reach the glorious height,

Where this bright star shall brighest shino, Leave far behind those scenes of night, And view the lustre all divine.

CHRIST A SUN

155.

A Rising Sun. "Unto you that fear his name shall the Sun of

righteousness arise, with healing in his wingi."..

Mal. 4. (C. M.)
I RISE, glorious sun, supremely bright,

Diffuse thy rays abroad,
Scatter the shades of gloomy night,

And show the heavenly road. 2 With healing in thy wings arise,

On this dark soul of mine
Oh pour thy glories from the skies,

And give me life divine.
3 Tho' rocks and sands, and seas and snares,

Beset the course I go,
On e ray of thine dispels my fears,

And guides me safely through. A FENT.
