22*. Thou Holy One and True

S.M.
by A.P. Cecil

Thou holy One and true,
 
Our hearts in Thee confide,
 
And in the circle of Thy love,
 
As brethren we abide.
“For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” (Psalm 16:10)
“And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.” (Matthew 22:16)
“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous.” (1 Peter 3:8)

In Thee the Father rests,
 
His own anointed One,
 
In Thee alone He finds delight,
 
His well-belovèd Son.
“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)
“Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.” (Isaiah 42:1)
“Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him.” (Proverbs 8:30)
“Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill.” (Isaiah 5:1)
“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)

In Thee we find delight,
 
Firstborn ’mongst brethren Thou;
 
To Thy dear name alone we cling,
 
To Thy sure Word we bow.
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” (Romans 8:29)

Teach us that name to own,
 
Whilst waiting, Lord, for Thee;
 
Unholiness and sin to shun,
 
From all untruth to flee.
“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” (1 Thessalonians 1:10)
“But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” (2 Timothy 2:16)
“But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.” (1 Timothy 6:11)
