John 3:2: Thou art a Teacher come from God

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

A Teacher come from God, and more,
In Thee we God Himself adore.
While in our inward parts
Thon dost Thy kind instructions write,
And make them the supreme delight
Of true believing hearts.

Master, instruct us thus to know
The' eternal God reveal'd below,
By miracles of grace
Of Thy Divinity convince,
For only God can cancel sins.
And save a ruin'd race.

God over all unless Thou art,
Thou canst not change the evil heart,
Our soul diseases heal:
But of Thy Spirit born we prove
Thou art the' almighty God of love
By signs infallible.
