That Thou art God Most-High

Verse 1
That Thou art God Most-high,
Thy actions testify,
Proof Divine thy wonders give;
Lives the Father in the Son,
Thou dost in the Father live,
Both inexplicably one.

Verse 2
Yet must I more desire,
And different proof require:
Sovereign, everlasting Lord,
If almighty Love Thou art,
Speak the soul-convincing word,
Fix the Witness in my heart.

Verse 3
Then shall my actions show
That God resides below,
In his genuine children seen,
By his Spirit’s traits display’d,
Him who seals the sons of men,
Makes the members like their Head.
