John 7:40. 41: The promise made but not fulfill'd
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The promise made but not fulfill'd
Thy hearers, Lord, with joy received,
Before the precious truth was seal'd
The Prophet Thee, the Christ believed;
And shall not we Thy Godhead own.
And testify Thy Spirit given,
Through seventeen hundred ages known,
And daily still sent down from heaven.
