Henry Constable - To God the Father lyrics

Great God: within whose simple essence, we Nothing but that which is thyself can find: When on thyself thou did'st reflect thy mind Thy thought was God, which took the form of thee: And when this God thus born, thou lov'st, & he Loved thee again, with pa**ion of like kind, (As lovers' sighs, which meet, become one wind) Both breathed one spright of equal deity. Eternal father, whence these two do come And wil'st the tItle of my father have, As heavenly knowledge in my mind engrave, That it thy son's true Image may become: And sence my heart with sighs of holy Love, That it the temple of the Spright may prove.
