I 2 307. GOD, unseen yet ever near, And, thus inspired with holy fear, Before Thine altar kneel. Here may Thy faithful people know The blessings of Thy love, The streams that through the desert flow, 3 We come, obedient to Thy word, 4 Thus may we all Thy words obey, 5* To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore. Amen. E. Osle.. I 308. IN the Name of God the Father, One in Three, and Three in One, 2 Crying-Holy, Holy, Holy, Here, in figure represented, See the Passion once again; See, for our refreshment spread. 3 Here shall highest praise be offered, Here shall meekest prayer be poured, Here with body, soul, and spirit, I God Incarnate be adored. Holy Jesu! for Thy coming May Thy love our hearts prepare ; 309. Jesu, Dulcedo cordium. J. W. Hewett. JESUS, thou Joy of loving hearts! Thou Fount of life!
