John 8:29: And He that sent Me is with Me: the Father, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
The Sender (for it cannot be)
Is never separate from the Sent
Who join'd to His Divinity
Our flesh, His sacred instrument,
The Father leaves Him not alone,
But lives eternal in His Son.
Obedient to His Father's will.
The Son for us obtain'd the grace
All His commandments to fulfil,
To' abide in all His righteous ways;
To walk in all well-pleasing here.
And pure before His face to' appear.
