John 1:38: The law points out the Victim slain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
The law points out the Victim slain,
And toward Him a few steps we go,
But never can to Christ attain
Till He the power of faith bestow,
Turning to us. Himself impart,
And speak in mercy to the heart.
Master, (as such Thyself I own,)
My Master and Director be.
Instruct me in the way unknown.
Which leads to happiness and Thee,
And by the lessons of Thy love
Conduct.me to Thy house above.
