John 12:50: Thou in the gospel hast made known
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Thou in the gospel hast made known
The way by Thy great Father shown,
And thither Thy commandments tend,
The sum of all Thy teachings this,
Obedience leads to perfect bliss,
Obedience shall in glory end.
Jesus, Thy promise I embrace,
Fulness of evangelic grace.
Sufficient strength derive from Thee;
My soul upon Thy word is stay'd;
Thy word beheved, beloved, obey'd,
Is life, eternal life to me.
