By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M.
      1 HAIL! Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
      One God, in Persons Three!
      Of Thee we make our joyful boast,
      Our songs we make of Thee.

      2 Thou neither canst be felt nor seen;
      Thou art a Spirit pure;
      Thou from eternity hast been,
      And always shalt endure.

      3 Present alike in every place,
      Thy Godhead we adore;
      Beyond the bounds of time and space,
      Thou dwell'st for evermore.

      4 In wisdom infinite thou art,
      Thine eye doth all things see;
      And every thought of every heart
      Is fully known to thee.

      5 Whate'er thou wilt, in earth below
      Thou dost, in heaven above:
      But chiefly we rejoice to know
      The almighty God of love.

      6 Thou lov'st whate'er thy hands have made,
      Thy goodness we rehearse,
      In shining characters displayed
      Throughout our universe.

      7 Mercy, with love and endless grace,
      O'er all thy works doth reign;
      But mostly thou delight'st to bless
      Thy favourite creature, man.

      8 Wherefore, let every creature give
      To thee the praise designed,
      But, chiefly, Lord, the thanks receive,
      The hearts of all mankind.
