Verse 1
Father, Son, and Spirit, hear
Thy apostate creature’s groan,
Languishing to find thee near,
Worshipping a God unknown,
Light ’till in thy light I see,
Know eternal life in thee.

Verse 2
Creeds and books can nothing do,
Unaccompanied by grace;
Grace must form my soul anew,
Give me to discern thy face,
Bring my faithful heart the power
God in Persons Three t’ adore.

Verse 3
But thou drawst me after thee,
But thou dost my heart incline,
Helping its infirmity
Now to ask the grace divine:
Now this unbelief remove,
Tell me now that thou art love.

Verse 4
Father, manifest thy Son,
Son, to me the Father show,
Holy Comforter, make known
The deep things of God below,
Sovereign, Tri-une God, impart
All thy fulness to my heart.
