John 6:47: He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Author of faith implant in me
That root of immortality,
That never failing root,
Whence every grace and virtue grow,
And then the' eternal life bestow.
The ripe celestial fruit.
But if in me reveal'd Thou art,
I have the earnest in my heart.
The witness and the seal:
Come then mine unbelief remove,
And by the Spirit of life and love
In me for ever dwell.
