John 14:10: Who shall make the Father known
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Who shall make the Father known.
The absolute I AM,
One in essence with the Son,
In person not the same!
Reason at the mystery reels
Which faith presumes not to declare;
Each in each for ever dwells,
And yet distinct they are.
Everything the Son receives
With being from the Sire,
All He is the Father gives
Yet is not chief or prior;
What He gives He still retains,
And with His unbeginning Son
Consubstantial God He reigns
Through endless ages one.
