Mark 4:11: I Reason's glimmering light is vain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
I Reason's glimmering light is vain,
Till Thy Spirit I receive:
He Thy language must explain.
He must give me to believe:
When the precious gift is mine,
Then I know the mystery.
Feel the power of love Divine
Stablishing its throne in me.
