What to Thee Thy Father gave

Verse 1
What to Thee thy Father gave
Thou dost on man bestow,
Souls re-born thy Spirit have,
Thy glorious image show,
Stampt with real holiness,
Partakers of thy life, they shine,
All thy members, Lord, express
The Unity Divine.

Verse 2
One, though not the same, with Thee,
And each with each they are,
The Divine plurality,
And simple nature share:
In thy permanent abode
When Father, Son, and Spirit meet,
Transcript of the tri-une God
Thy Church is all compleat.
