John 8: Eternal thanks to Thee
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Eternal thanks to Thee,
Thou self-discover'd I/ight,
Through whom we Thy credentials see
And learn to judge aright:
Thee Jesus we receive
Our Saviour from above,
The wonders of Thy life believe,
The wonders of Thy love.
Thou cam'st from God, we know,
And dost with sinners stay,
That we may in Thy footsteps go,
Nor miss the heavenly way:
Thou dost Thy church attend.
Our Comforter and Guide,
To keep us, and, when time shall end
To carry home Thy bride.
