John 3:9: The change we all may feel and show
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
The change we all may feel and show.
And born of God, His kingdom see;
In vain we would the manner know,
And still inquire, How can it be?
Or, boldly ignorant, explode
The' inexplicable truths of God.
Who first by reason's scanty line
Can the immense Creator mete,
Fathom the depths of love Divine,
Of power and wisdom infinite.
May then the miracle explore
How saints can live and sin no more.
