HYMN 7. Fourth Part. P.M.
A living faith. (cont.)

4	When, Satan's blind slave,    I sported with death: And can he have taught me to trust in his name, And thus far have brought me, to put me to shame?
5	Why should I complain    Of want or distress,    Temptation or pain?    He told me no less: The heirs of salvation, I know from his word, Thro' much tribulation, must follow the Lord.
6	How bitter that cup    No heart can conceive,    Which he drank quite up,    That sinners might live! His way was much rougher, and darker than mine; Did Jesus thus suffer, and shall I repine?
7	Since all, that I meet,    Shall work for my good;    The bitter is sweet,    The med'cine is food: Tho' painful at present, 'twill cease before long, And then, O how pleasant the conqueror's song!

HYMN 8. First Part. L.M.
The holy Trinity.

1	THERE is one God, and only one; No rivals can his essence share: He is Jehovah, he alone, And with the Lord none can compare.
2	His works, thro' all this wondrous frame, Express the Maker's vast designs:

2	They bear the impress of his name; In ev'ry part his wisdom shines.
3	If in his works such wonders rise, How much more wonderful is he! Whose nature's fill'd with mysteries; His being One, his person Three.
4	What finite pow'r with ceaseless toil, Can comprehend th' eternal Mind? Or, who th' almighty Three and One, By searching to perfection find?
5	Angels and men in vain may raise Harmonious, their adoring songs; The lab'ring thoughts sink down opprest, And praises die upon their tongues.
6	Yet would I lift my trembling voice, Th' eternal Three in One to sing; And mingling faith, while I rejoice, My humble, grateful tribute bring.
7	All glory to th' eternal Three, The sacred undivided One: To Father, Son, and Spirit be Co-equal praise, and honours done.

HYMN 8. Second Part. L.M.
The triune God, the God of our salvation.

1	IONG ere the sun began his days, Or moon shot forth her silver rays, Salvation's scheme was fixt, 'twas done In cov'nant by the Three in One.
2	The Father spake, the Son replied. The Spirit with them both complied: Grace mov'd the cause for saving man, And wisdom drew the noble plan.
3	The Father chose his only Son To die for sins, that man had done;
