Lyrics

Thus, O Lord, the world convince,
That by thy hallowing grace
Thou hast sav’d us from our sins (Matt. 1:21)
Thy chosen witnesses: (John 17:23, John 15:27, Acts 1:8)
Thus let all the heathen know
By feeling what thy people feel
“Dwells the Tri-une God below, (Isa. 57:15, John 14:23, I Cor. 3:16, I Cor. 6:16, I Cor. 6:19)
And shall forever dwell!” (Ezek. 37:28, Rev. 21:3)
