Thou the anointing Spirit art, Anoint and cheer our soiled face Praise to Thine eternal merit, FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT. "And they were all filled with the HOLY GHOST." 88. COME, HOLY GHOST, Who ever One Art with the FATHER and the SON; Come, HOLY GHOST, our souls possess With Thy full flood of holiness. Let mouth and heart and flesh combine, This grace on Thy redeemed confer, "I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." 89. ABOVE the starry spheres, To where He was before, CHRIST had gone up, soon from on high And now had fully come Of seven times seven revolving days, When, as the Apostles knelt Forthwith a tongue of fire Alights on every brow ; Each breast receives the FATHER's light The HOLY GHOST on all Is mightily outpoured, Who straight in divers tongues declare While strangers of all climes Flock round from far and near, But Judah faithless still, Denies the Hand Divine, And madly jeers the Saints of CHRIST Till Peter in the midst Stood up and spake aloud; Praise to the FATHER be! Praise to the SON Who rose ! "Take not Thy HOLY SPIRIT from me: restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy free Spirit." 90. AGAIN the circling seasons tell The blest and joyous hour, When erst upon the Apostles fell Each mouth with wisdom to inspire, In every tongue their voice is heard: To Thee, All-pitying LORD, we pray, Thy Spirit Blest from Heaven this day Thou, Who in ages past didst pour Thy grace in us, when lost, restore, TO GOD the FATHER, glory be, And Son from death upraised, Trinity Sunday. "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of GOD! how unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out." 91. THRICE Holy GOD, of wondrous might, To Thee belongs unclouded light, About Thy Throne dark clouds abound, That Angels, as they stand around Are fain to tremble as they gaze. Thy new-born people, gracious LORD, By hope they taste the rich reward, Blest SON, may we Thy precepts learn, And HOLY GHOST, for evermore. "There are Three that bear record in heaven, the FATHER the WORD, and the HOLY GHOST; and these three are One." 92. O THOU, Who dwellest bright on high, Thou ever-blessed TRINITY! Thee we confess, in Thee believe, For GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON, With heart and voice, for evermore! "Holy, Holy, Holy, LORD GOD Almighty, Which was, and is, and is to come." 93. FATHER of all, to Thee we raise The tribute of our grateful praise, Who for our double life hast given Bread from the earth, and Bread from heaven, Thou too, O JESUS, be adored, The only SON, the Almighty LORD; Who, on the Cross a Victim made, Three Persons, but One GOD, Whose grace TO GOD the FATHER, with the SON, HYMNS FOR THE WEEK. Sunday. MORNING. "GOD said, Let there be light, and there was light." "Very early in the morning, the first day in the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun; and the angel said, He is not here, for He is risen." 94. THIS day the blessed TRINITY This day the world's Creator rose, |
