Religion
John 3:31: lie that is of the earth is earthly, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Mere man of earthly origin
Is all infirmity and sin.
The meanness of his native place
His spirit and his speech bewrays:
Jesus, the Lord and God most high,
Reveals the secrets of the sky.
And speaks in blessings from above
The language pure of heavenly love.
