God they went, the persons Three

Verse 1
God they went, the Persons Three
His Israel to redeem;
Still the glorious Trinity
In majesty supreme,
List’ning to our plaintive groan,
Afflicted with our misery,
Comes to make his wonders known,
And set his people free.

Verse 2
God hath Israel visited;
His Son the Father gave;
Jesus came, and freely shed
His blood our souls to save:
Comes the Spirit into our hearts,
Our guilty burthen to remove,
Peace the Comforter imparts
And liberty and love.
