247. The Trinity

1 Father of heaven, whose love profound
A ransom for our souls hath found,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy pardoning love extend.

2 Almighty Son--incarnate Word--
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy saving grace extend.

3 Eternal Spirit! by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,--
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy quickening power extend.

4 Jehovah!--Father, Spirit, Son!
Mysterious Godhead!--Three in One!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
Grace, pardon, life to us extend.
