22*. Thou Holy One and True

S.M.
by A.P. Cecil
1
Thou holy One and true,
 
Our hearts in Thee confide,
 
And in the circle of Thy love,
 
As brethren we abide.
2
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)
3
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)
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)
4
Teach us that name to own,
 
Whilst waiting, Lord, for Thee;
 
Unholiness and sin to shun,
 
From all untruth to flee.
“And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.” (Luke 12:36)
“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” (Revelation 3:8)
“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)
