John 6:68, 69: Master, what a school is Thine
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Master, what a school is Thine!
Truth and life Thy words impart:
Thou Thyself the Truth Divine,
Thou the Life eternal art:
Both we by Thy teaching know,
Truly here we learn to live;
Here Thyself Thou dost bestow,
Light and love for ever give.
Whither shall we go from Thee,
Lord to whom for life repair?
All besides is misery.
Death, delusion, and despair;
Wherefore to Thyself we cleave.
Thee the living God we own,
Only by Thy Spirit live,
Find our heaven in Thee alone.
