John 8:19: They who never knew the Son

They who never knew the Son
Through His own Spirit's light,
Never have the Father known
Or worshipp'd God aright
Only Jesus can declare
The great eternal Deity:
Atheists, Lord, they surely are,
That disbelieve in Thee,

But I'hy true disciples pray
To us the Father show,
Thou His majesty display
Which none besides can know:
Thou His glorious Image art,
Himself descended from above:
Finding Thee within our heart
We know that God is love.
