At length the time is quite fulfiU'd,
The moment come, when God had will'd
To manifest His Son;
Jehovah in the temple seen,
Begins to' instruct the sons of men.
And make the Godhead known.

The Christ foretold by ancient seers,
The Lord in His own house appears.
To hear and not declaim.
To answer all His love's design,
And with authority Divine
Declare His Father's name.

By Thy example, Lord, repress
Our ministerial forwardness,
And teach us when, and where,
And how, our office to fulfil.
And the whole counsel of Thy will
Before the world declare, 1
