HYMNE (TO BE SUNG WITH THREE VOICES), by                    
First Line: Ask not how the thing can be
Last Line: Which we will tune by their high key halalujah.


1 PART

Xs. 1. ASK not how the thing can be,
2. But adore the Mysterie
3. THREE IN ONE chor. & ONE IN THREE.

Xs. 1. Faiths Eye does not double see,
2. But treble, yet in Unitie
3. Seeing ONE chor. it seeth THREE.

Xs. 1. The Sacred Knot's the Deitie
2. Tied up close in Unitie
3. Yet tied up chor. in Persons THREE.

2D PT.

Xs. O TRIPLE UNITIE
We humbly offer Thee
One Songs chor. Triplicitie.

Xs. As Thou art One chor. may We
All One together be,
And One at length with Thee.

So shall our harmonie
By no time measured be,
But by Eternitie.

3D PT.

Xs. For when this brittle voice shall be
Cracked by our Mortalitie,
Cho. Our Hearts shall cleerer sing to Thee:

Xs. When hence we are released to see
The beams of thy Divinitie,
Cho. We shall be cheerlyer being free.

Then next thy Angells Harmonie
Our Prayses shall resound to Thee
Which We will tune by their high Key Halalujah.
