John 7:16: An herald of the grace Divine
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
An herald of the grace Divine
Can say, My doctrine is not mine
But His, who sent me forth,
Freely what I receive to give
And tell the world they all may live
Through Jesu's dying worth.
The truths he speaks are not his own,
God teaches him, and God alone,
The mystery to explain,
Opens his mouth to preach the word,
And tells our hearts, It is the Lord,
Who gives such power to man.
