The Holy Trinity. Isa. 57. 15; 1 Pet. 1. 16

1 God is a high and holy God,
  Eternally the same;
  Holiness is his blest abode,
  And holy is his name.

2 The holy Father, Holy Ghost,
  Men readily will own;
  But ’tis a blessing few can boast,
  To know the holy Son.

3 [With hearts of flint, and fronts of brass,
  Some talk of Christ their Head;
  And make the living Lord, alas!
  Companion with the dead.

4 Familiar freedom, luscious names,
  To Christ some fondly use;
  Visions of wonder, flashy frames,
  Are others’ utmost views.

5 By things like these men often run
  To this or that extreme;
  But that man truly knows the Son
  Who loves to live like him.]

6 Lord, help us by thy mighty power
  To gain our constant view;
  Which is, that we may know thee more,
  And more resemble too.
