Fountain of truth forever full

Verse 1
Fountain of truth, forever full,
Hail Thou great Father of our Lord!
Thy bosom was his heavenly school:
He heard, not yet th’ incarnate Word;
From all eternity He knew,
That Thou art wise, and good, and true.

Verse 2
With Thee substantially the same,
With Thee inexplicably one,
He only doth declare thy name,
He makes to man thy nature known,
And taught by Him, we sweetly prove
Thy truth, thy wisdom, and thy love.
