John 12:44: His public ministry to close
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
His public ministry to close
He lifts His voice amidst His foes,
By neither earth nor hell dismay'd;
Virtue, He with His voice exerts
To reach His weak disciples' hearts,
And thus their cowardice upbraid.
Sent from Jehovah in the skies,
Jesus His office magnifies:
The dignity of faith displays,
WHiich makes the depths of Godhead known,
Discerns the Father in the Son
With all His majesty and grace.
