John 8:59: Thou dost Thy Godhead testify

Thou dost Thy Godhead testify,
Thine own eternal power maintain.
Nor for the truth refuse to die,
But sav'st Thyself for sharper pain.
Waiting to suffer in our stead.
And in Thy Father's time to bleed.

Thou dost out of the temple go.
Not to a single sect confined;
Thy blood in freer streams must flow
A sacrifice for all mankind.
That all mankind by faith may see
The one eternal God in Thee.
