John 1:11: Thyself Thou wouldst to sinners give
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Thyself Thou wouldst to sinners give,
But Thee Thine own will not receive,
With all Thy proffer'd love.
Thy subjects they refuse to be.
Disdaining to be led by Thee
To endless joys above.
Thee, if they finally deny.
And harden'd unbelievers die.
Yet, by themselves undone,
Thy creatures, and redeem'd they are.
Invited, and design'd to share
Thine everlasting throne.
