John 14:6: The great Invisible, unknown
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
The great Invisible, unknown
In darkness inaccessible,
Jehovah's co-eternal Son,
Thou only dost to man reveal,
And through the fountain of Thy blood
Bring back a rebel world to God.
Author of our salvation, Thee
Author of faith our hearts confess,
Through Thy atonement on the tree
Bold we approach the throne of grace,
And find Thy name to sinners given
Saves us from hell, and lifts to heaven.
Thy Father's mind through Thee we know,
His image with His grace retrieve,
To Him we in Thy footsteps go,
His hidden life in Thee we live,
And led by Thy good Spirit we move
To see His open face above.
