Mark 12:24: Do ye not therefore err, dfc

The carnal yi'Zf'j" misunderstood
The lively oracles of God,
No promise spiritual they saw
Beneath the shadows of the law,
But resting in the literal word
Renounced the truth, with Christ our Lord.

The modern y wj- who bear His name,
In judgment and mistake the same,
S. Markxii.2i—2.
No hope of immortality
In Moses or the prophets see,
No Spirit now to sinners given,
No inward Christ, or present heaven.

They still a God unknown adore,
Strangers to faith's almighty power,
To Christ the power of God in man.
Who only can His word explain
And write it on their inward parts.
And breathe the sense into their hearts.

The Scriptures never can be known
But through the power of God alone;
The Spirit of power, and truth, and love
Doth first our unbelief remove,
Discovers the deep things of God,
And shows to me my Saviour's blood.

My Father's mind I then perceive.
And quicken'd by His Spirit Uve;
The Spirit doth His word reveal,
The Spirit teaches me His will,
And while into all truth He guides,
My Teacher in my heart resides.
