Luke 1. 16, 17. Many of the children of Israel shall he turn
to the Lord their God: and he shall go before Him.

Forerunner of the Lord their God.
Who Jesus's forerunner came,
Did he not publish it abroad,
That Jesus is with God the same?
The God of Israel is but ( )ne,
The Father whole is in His Son.

Jesus, the true Jehovah, Lord
Of heaven and earth, I Thee adore!
From Thee the ministerial word
Receives its soul-converting power;
And all Thy people testify
Our Saviour is the Lord most high!
